The Tape
Open clocks, deadlines and the forecast ledger, read at the bell.
The Markets File
Open Clocks
Green Book Rate Still 28 Oct The 3.0% discount rate is published, but no project changes status until revised guidance and business cases cite it. October 28 is the first document that shows.
Ballot Rule Still Held Talwani's September 4 order stands while the administration's September 3 emergency application sits at the Supreme Court.
Stopped and Unnamed
Kametstal Restart Unset Two blast furnaces offline after the strike. Metinvest has published no restart date, so the loss is furnace-days rather than tonnes.
Kharg Vessel Unnamed No ship identified and no official account from Tehran or Washington. Kharg's export role makes verified damage consequential; nothing verifies it yet.
