Apple held its Surprise and Shine event, unveiling three iPhone models: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Duo, the company's first foldable iPhone. Thailand is among the Tier 1 countries that will open pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max on Saturday, September 12, starting at 7:00 p.m., with sales beginning on Friday, September 18. The iPhone Duo will open for pre-order on Friday, October 16, at 7:00 p.m., with sales beginning on Friday, October 23. Meanwhile, the US Treasury announced it will buy back 6 billion dollars of government bonds on Thursday, in an operation lasting 20 minutes and ending at 2:00 p.m. US time, a size three times larger than its normal buybacks. This follows Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's announcement on August 19 that buyback volumes would be increased by at least double the normal level. The yield on 10-year US Treasuries surged to a nearly three-year high of 4.935% before settling at 4.843%, while the 30-year yield stood at 5.295%. Asian stock markets opened lower this morning, tracking US markets, with the Kospi down 0.2% at 7,038.85 points and the Nikkei down 0.6% at 64,768.53 points, amid oil prices surging past 100 dollars a barrel on escalating tensions in the Middle East.
