September 15th news: In the early morning of September 15th local time, Yemeni Houthi armed spokesman Yahya Saraya issued a video statement on the social platform saying that the Houthi armed forces launched a total of 4 drones to attack 2 Israeli targets, of which 3 drones attacked Israel’s second largest airport-Ramon Airport, and another drone attacked Israeli military targets in the Negev region.On September 15th, if the Bank of England halts its active sales of gilts at a key decision this week, British Chancellor of the Exchequer Reeves will need to raise an additional £4 billion (US$5.4 billion) to keep his budget on track. In addition to Thursdays interest rate decision, the Bank of England will also announce the pace of reduction in its crisis-era quantitative easing bond portfolio over the next 12 months—a potentially daunting challenge for Reeves as he prepares to deliver the budget on November 26th. Since the Bank of Englands gilt holdings are currently losing money, a decision to slow the pace of reduction would increase the burden on British taxpayers. This would be a significant blow to Reeves, who already needs to raise £35 billion after rising borrowing costs, a weak growth outlook, and a series of sharp policy shifts that have depleted fiscal buffers. The Bank of England faces a dilemma: balancing the fiscal costs of slowing gilt sales with the risk of exacerbating financial market instability by continuing to ask investors for large-scale bond purchases. This month, the yield on 30-year gilts hit its highest level since 1998.Hong Kong-listed Yaojie Ankang-B (02617.HK) rose more than 50% in the afternoon and is now trading at HK$284 per share, having plummeted 18% in early trading.On September 15th, a policy document to further promote the development of private investment was being prepared for release.

The Australian Securities Exchange stated on Wednesday that it will delay the redesign of its major share trading platform by up to twenty months, citing problems in achieving "scalability and resilience."


Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, ASX Ltd's plan to upgrade its equities clearing software, will not be finished until late 2024, the latest of numerous delays (CHESS).


The CHESS application enables the ASX registry to settle transactions. Since 2017, the exchange has sought to replace CHESS with blockchain technology in an effort to lower customer fees.


ASX, which has had a series of software failures, has announced that it would retain Accenture (NYSE:ACN) to perform an independent examination of the new CHESS program.


The exchange operator and its application software provider, Digital Asset, recognized that the program required more development than anticipated.


In a joint statement, Philip Lowe, Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, and Joseph Longo, Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), expressed their concern.


Lowe said that the ASX-initiated research was "crucial" for providing assurance that the new CHESS application software would be adequate for its intended function.


Longo added, "It is imperative that Accenture complete this study in order to provide assurance on the delivery of a solid replacement for CHESS and a high degree of confidence regarding the amended go-live date."
