ONE BIG THINGOpenAI failed to disclose out-of-control AI agents using German website as a secret message board<\/p>\n
OpenAI failed to disclose an incident in which a swarm of its AI agents hijacked a German wiki site earlier this year, in a parallel to events in July that resulted in another group of OpenAI\u2019s agents launching cyberattacks against the company Hugging Face, Fortune\u2019s Bea Nolan reports.<\/p>\n
OpenAI only confirmed the incident after Reuters reported that OpenAI was aware of the wiki attack and that unnamed OpenAI employees acknowledged they had been aware of the agent swarm using the wiki as a chat board for weeks, but had been pressured by OpenAI executives to keep quiet about it. OpenAI denied that its lawyers had pressured the employees.<\/p>\n

THE WAROil hits $99 per barrel as Trump tries to talk it down<\/p>\n
The price of Brent crude oil rose over $99 per barrel this morning, a level it has not seen since late May. The rise came after a report from Bloomberg that Iran and Oman were \u201cdays\u201d away from finalizing their agreement for control of the Strait of Hormuz\u2014a deal that pointedly does not involve the U.S.<\/p>\n
The agreement is unlikely to lead to more ships accessing the Gulf, because the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait remains in place. The U.S. sank an Iranian oil tanker, the M\/T Kylo, Centcom reported on September 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No Iranian crude oil has left the Gulf since mid-July, Bloomberg said. Iran has only 29 million barrels left in cargo that was already at sea before the conflict began, down from 90 million, and thus its sources of foreign currency revenue are dwindling, the WSJ reported.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the war goes on. Saudi Arabia reported that several of its refineries were hit by the Iran-backed Houthis over the weekend. The Houthis blame Saudi Arabia for supporting the Yemeni government, which has been gaining ground over areas previously under Houthi control.<\/p>\n
President Trump insisted last night that \u201cOil prices will drop precipitously, like everything else is dropping (but more!), when we WIN the war with Iran. Three Dollars a gallon, but ultimately, below Two Dollars a gallon. It will all happen quickly, and Iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon. MAGA!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The cost of the war has increased prices for U.S. consumers by a total of $100 billion, Axios reported, and the costs are now rising by $1 million every two minutes.<\/p>\n

The stock market is ignoring the bond market, Deutsche Bank warns<\/p>\n
The S&P 500 is up nearly 13% year-to-date but that\u2019s because stock traders are ignoring what\u2019s happening in the bond market, according to Deutsche Bank\u2019s Henry Allen. There is an inverse correlation between the yield on the 10-year Treasury and stocks, which makes sense if you believe that as interest rates fall, stocks go up as they absorb new rounds of cheaper money.<\/p>\n
The problem is that bond yields are going up, as bond investors expect higher inflation ahead, and stocks don\u2019t seem to have noticed.<\/p>\n
\u201cRates markets still don\u2019t reflect the extent of the inflationary pressures ahead, with only limited tightening cycles priced in. So either inflation needs to fall, or the pressure on rates will continue. And if the pressure on rates is maintained, that in turn will force an adjustment in risk assets. Something needs to give here, with several asset classes vulnerable to the impact of a more aggressive tightening cycle from central banks,\u201d he said in a note.<\/p>\n
Context: 60% of bettors on the CME FedWatch futures index currently see the Fed raising rates to 3.75% on September 18.<\/p>\n
QUOTE OF THE DAY\u201cNorway now explicitly acknowledges that sovereign bonds are no longer riskless.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shreyas Gopal and George Saravelos of Deutsche Bank on the recently proposed investment policy change at Norway\u2019s $2.2 trillion national wealth fund, the largest sovereign wealth fund on the planet. \u201cNorway is shifting its U.S. fixed income allocation away from Treasuries and towards private fixed income securities,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n
CHART OF THE DAYWhere the jobs are<\/p>\n
Last week\u2019s U.S. new jobs number\u2014\u201cnonfarm payrolls\u201d as it\u2019s officially called\u2014came in way above expectations at 162,000, suggesting the American economy is in rude health. BNP Paribas senior economist Andrew Husby helpfully broke out the job numbers by sector. Some sectors, such as leisure and local government, are highly seasonal\u2014which is why those numbers are likely to come down next month.<\/p>\n
NUMBER OF THE DAY: The CO2 cliff edge750 gigatonnes<\/p>\n
The amount of CO2 that would be released into the atmosphere if climate change triggered the thawing of the permafrost, the dieback of the Amazon, unchecked boreal forest fires, a mass coral reef die-off, and the disruption of the circulation pattern in the Atlantic Ocean, according to Wood Mackenzie, the energy research consultancy.<\/p>\n
The Earth\u2019s seas and forests naturally absorb only 18 GtCO2 per year. Currently we\u2019re emitting 48 GtCO2 per year from industry. The implication, according to Wood Mackenzie, is that renewables and engineered carbon capture are nowhere close to slowing down CO2 emissions. <\/p>\n

ONE MORE THINGHelp wanted: Snake that can do opera. Must have people skills.<\/p>\n
Spare some sympathy for a moderately sized brown boa constrictor named Nala. She came this close to a starring role in the Met\u2019s latest production of \u201cCos\u00ec fan Tutte,\u201d which reimagines the Mozart opera by setting it in Coney Island. Nala lost the role to Princess, a \u201cbig sun-glow boa constrictor who is yellow-peach,\u201d according to Zoe Ziegfeld, a carnival performer-turned-opera actor who is the production\u2019s snake handler. Princess is a larger snake with a better visual presence on stage, the AP reports. In auditioning a snake, Ziegfeld looks each one in the eye, face-to-face, to evaluate the snake\u2019s demeanor. \u201cI need to know that the animal is comfortable with people and with what we are doing,\u201d Ziegfeld said. \u201cShe is a wonderful snake.\u201d (Nala will become Princess’s understudy.)<\/p>\n
