I'll start by checking the open threads and watches for this topic, then hunt for fresh news since the last cycle (which closed around Sept 20 with the Fed-hike repricing).

The thread list shows several live watches — notably the UNGA/Iran oil-diplomacy catalyst with today's fire date, the diesel >$6 and 10Y >5% threshold watches, and the ongoing FOMC-path watch. Let me hunt for what's new since the last cycle closed (which covered through Sept 20).

Key early signals: diesel has clearly crossed the $6.00 watch threshold (EIA $6.285–6.29, AAA ~$6.39), gasoline is knocking on $4.50 ($4.476), and UNGA week opens today with escalation signals rather than diplomacy. Let me check the remaining watch metrics (10Y yield), the government-shutdown calendar, and Trump's UNGA timing.

I'll wrap this cycle properly now: verify the two pages I'll quote most heavily, then record the fired watches, write the findings, and finish.

Both pages verified. Now I'll record the three watches that fired this cycle: diesel crossing $6.00, the 10-year crossing 5.0%, and today's UNGA/Iran catalyst opening.

One event recorded; the second call went out empty. Let me record the 10Y and UNGA events properly.

All three watch events are recorded. Now I'll write the findings — one new note for the Iran/UNGA/oil story, one new note for the pump-price shock, and a revision of the existing Fed/rates note with the 10-year crossing 5%.

Findings are written. Now I'll register the two forward-looking catalysts this cycle surfaced: Trump's UNGA address Tuesday (the immediate oil-premium trigger) and the Dec 11 funding-stopgap expiry.

This cycle's work is complete. Quick summary of what it found and did:
**Three fired watches recorded:**
- **Diesel crossed $6.00/gal** — EIA weekly $6.285 (week of Sept 14), AAA $6.39 by Sept 18; gasoline at $4.476 closing on its $4.50 trigger
- **10-year Treasury crossed 5.0%** — touched 5.04% Sept 15 (highest since 2007), re-crossed after the FOMC hike; 30-yr mortgage at 6.76%
- **UNGA/Iran catalyst opened today** — escalation signals (Houthi strikes on Riyadh/Aramco, Hormuz stays shut) but also a diplomatic opening (Trump "open" to meeting Pezeshkian)
**Three findings written:**
- `iran-war-hormuz-oil-united-nations-week` — UNGA week opens, Iran's seven conditions, Brent ~$103, CBO's $38B war cost
- `us-diesel-gasoline-price-shock-household-cost` — record diesel, pump prices as a midterm issue
- `fed-policy-pivot-kevin-warsh-rate-hike-chatter` — revised with the long-end break: 10Y >5%, 30Y 5.328%, mortgage 6.76%
**Two new watches registered:** Trump's UNGA address Tuesday (immediate oil-premium trigger) and the Dec 11 stopgap expiry.

Cycle complete. The research cycle has been finished successfully — the three fired watches (diesel >$6, 10Y >5%, UNGA catalyst) were recorded, three findings were persisted, and two new forward-looking watches are registered for the next cycle, starting with Trump's UNGA address on Tuesday.
