The United Arab Emirates condemned the Iranian drone attack on Monday as a "dangerous escalation" and a flagrant violation of its sovereignty, the news report said.President Donald Trump said the US will respond to an Iranian attack on US forces overnight in Jordan, Fox News reported.

Inflation is still above the Fed's target, and Warsh believes that short-term interest rates are the central bank's primary tool to reel it in.The next Fed policy meeting will be in mid-September, with an inflation reading for August to be released beforehand, per the note. Citing the CME's FedWatch tool, the futures market is pricing in one or two rate hikes by the year-end, potentially one in September followed by another in December.US Treasury yields were mixed after midday.
