(2) As Britain’s governing Labour Party gathers in Liverpool for its annual conference, one notable figure is trying to maintain a low profile: Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey.

(3) Iran stuck to its seven-day proposal for reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz, saying it won’t soften its conditions, while President Donald Trump sent mixed signals about his willingness to reach a deal.

(4) The bond market is on the brink of signaling that a series of Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes will start shifting the narrative toward the risk that the US economy stalls out.
