Israel’s prime minister says the alleged Flydubai hijacker is Omani, though neither Flydubai nor the UAE government has confirmed the pilot’s nationality. UAE prosecutors have ordered an investigation into the incident, while Benjamin Netanyahu says it is too early to determine whether Iran was involved. Flydubai has suspended flights to Tel Aviv as the incident puts cockpit security back in focus. Tensions across the Middle East remain elevated. The US may deploy an additional aircraft carrier and 10,000 troops to the region, while more Patriot systems could be sent to protect Saudi and Qatari energy sites. The Houthis have also targeted a power facility near Madinah. Iran’s foreign minister has privately indicated Tehran could allow inspectors to visit bombed locations if sanctions are eased. The Treasury rebound pulls yields off multi-decade highs as the bond rout takes a breather. Fed officials discuss the rise in yields, while economists expect US jobs growth slowed in September.
