Global News: After claiming that restoring output of Saudi Aramco after an attack on its facilities may take months, close sources said that it would take two or three weeks, indicating that oil output will be fully restored quicker than thought, as the country was close to restoring 70% of the total production affected. This sent Brent Crude prices lower on Tuesday. Boosted by a surge in machinery and primary metals production, output rose by 0.5% last month, increasing more than expected in August, while factory production fell 0.4% year-on-year. Amid the attack on the oil facilities of Saudi Arabia and two-day policy meeting of the central bank, stocks fell at open on Tuesday and yields edged lower.

European News: After the Supreme Court heard arguments that the prime minister wanted a shutdown of the parliament because he wanted that it was obstructing his Brexit plans, a government lawyer said on Tuesday that if the court rules, he unlawfully suspended it, Boris Johnson could recall parliament. As Prime Minister Boris Johnson stuck to his pledge to take Britain out of the European Union by 31 October and reports emerged that his team are looking at ways to circumvent the legal requirement to seek a delay if a deal is not approved by 19 October, the pound fell from its six-week high against the dollar.
