(1) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the US and China have sealed a two-month extension to their trade truce, as Xi Jinping landed in America for his first state visit in eleven years.

(2) The Chinese government has taken possession of potentially sensitive F-35 stealth aircraft parts that were inexplicably diverted to Hong Kong while being sent to the US from Australia, people briefed on the incident said.

(3) Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he’d looked at “extreme tail risk” when asked by the New York Times about whether he’d taken seriously the risk of US military action against his country.

(4) An OpenAI model hacked an Australian government website earlier this year, marking one of the first known cyberattacks by AI on a government database.

(5) Meta Platforms unveiled a palm-sized, dedicated gadget for using Muse, the company’s popular new artificial intelligence assistant, pushing deeper into the AI devices market with a surprise announcement.

(6) The losses in the US Treasuries market intensified on Wednesday as robust economic data and a weak debt auction drove yields across most maturities to the highest levels in almost two decades.
