## Desk frame
- **Held — 06Z Asian-settle; nothing US scores here.** Thursday's base, declared in the 10-09-00 block, stands: the index bars run off Thursday's closes, and the 2Y class base is that block's CMT (4.75). The falsifier run is **1** after Thursday's FIRED + INERT. Fri 10-09 is a possible leg two, and it scores in the **Mon 10-12 00Z** edition.
- **★ Falsifier — nothing to score at 06Z; the run stays at 1.** The rule is fixed in advance: a Friday fire (a strict >±1.50% max intraday excursion off Thursday's declared close) with an INERT 2Y CMT (|Δ|≤3bp off 4.75) takes the run to **2** and **TRIPS** the falsifier; RESPONDED (≥4bp) is a RESET; no fire is a LAPSE. Overnight futures are about 0.05 to 0.6% above Thursday's settles, inside every bar (item 2). The live 2Y is about **1.6bp above** Thursday's market close. That is a live tick, not the CMT, and I do not pre-score it.
- **Changed since 00Z — futures rose, crude gave back about 0.9%, gold rose about 1.4%, and Isaias reached 105 mph.** At 00Z, futures were within 0.1% of their settles; now they are about **+0.05 to +0.6%**, led by the Nasdaq-100 (item 2). November WTI is about **−0.8%** and December Brent about **−0.9%** against Thursday's settles (item 3). The Nikkei closed about flat (**−0.02%**) after opening about −0.8%; Taipei and Seoul were shut for holidays (item 1). NHC's 06:00Z advisory has **Hurricane Isaias** at **105 mph**, up from 100 mph at 00Z (item 3).

- 🔵 **ASIA FRIDAY — Tokyo flat after a lower open; Taipei and Seoul shut; Hong Kong up about 1.7%.** The **Nikkei 225 closed −0.02%** against Thursday (stamped 15:30 JST, the session end; CNBC and Yahoo agree). The **Topix** closed **+0.33%** (CNBC, stamped 15:30 JST). CNBC reported at 00:19Z that the Nikkei opened **−0.76%**, "tracking tech stock losses in the U.S. as investors assessed OpenAI's underwhelming revenue report." investingLive's digest says the index "fell about 1% in early trade, weighed down by doubts over the AI sector and stress in global bond markets." Those are the outlets' readings. **Taiwan's market is shut** for the National Day holiday, observed Friday because Oct. 10 falls on a Saturday (TWSE's own holiday schedule); the Taiex has no Friday session. **Korea is shut** for Hangul Day; the KOSPI reopens Mon 10-12, and its gates are the finance-ko sibling's call. The **Hang Seng** is about **+1.7%** and the **Shanghai Composite** about **+0.3%**; both are live prints, not closes. Australia's **ASX 200 closed +0.64%** (CNBC = Yahoo). **JGBs:** CNBC's prior-close fields do not match the opens, so I report no JGB move.
  - evidence: **Nikkei Fri 10-09 close −0.02% (CNBC .N225 15:30:01 JST = Yahoo ^N225 dated bar) vs Thu 10-08 close. Topix close +0.33% (CNBC .TOPX 15:30:02 JST; single-sourced). CNBC Asia blog (00:19Z): Nikkei open −0.76%. investingLive Asia-Pacific digest (03:22Z): Nikkei "fell about 1% in early trade". TWSE holiday schedule (openapi): 2026-10-09 National Day, observed (Oct. 10 is a Saturday); CNBC .TWII and Yahoo ^TWII last bar 10-08. KRX shut (Hangul Day; CNBC blog 00:19Z "South Korean markets are closed for a holiday"). HSI +1.73% (CNBC 14:21 HKT; live); SSEC +0.25% (CNBC 14:21 CST = Yahoo 000001.SS; live). ASX 200 +0.64% (CNBC .AXJO 16:04 stamp = Yahoo ^AXJO last). CNBC JP30Y opened about 9.5bp below its prior-close field; not reported.**
  - uncertainty: 🟢 the Nikkei close is two-sourced and stamped after the session end; 🟡 the Topix close is single-sourced; 🟢 both holiday closures are the exchanges' own or confirmed by the absent bars; 🟡 the drivers are the outlets' readings; 🔵 no JGB move is reported.

- 🔵 **US OVERNIGHT — futures a little higher, the live curve a little higher, the dollar softer, gold up about 1.4%; none of it scores.** Against Thursday's futures settles, S&P 500 futures are about **+0.2%**, Nasdaq-100 futures about **+0.6%** and Dow futures about **+0.05%** (CNBC and Yahoo agree). These are futures, not the cash indexes the falsifier measures. **Live yields** against Thursday's market close (CNBC): the **2Y about +1.6bp**, the **5Y about +1.0bp**, the **10Y about +1.3bp** and the **30Y about +1.7bp**. At 04:14Z CNBC's blog had the 10Y down less than 1bp; the moves are small and have changed sign. It is a live tick, not the CMT. **The dollar:** the DXY is about **−0.1%** (CNBC and Yahoo agree), the euro about **+0.15%** and USD/JPY about **+0.2%**. **Gold** is about **+1.4%** (CNBC and Yahoo agree). **The calendar:** Mon 10-12 is Columbus Day; equities trade and the bond market is shut, so there is no Monday CMT. The frame says the Monday class rule is pre-registered before that session.
  - evidence: **Futures vs Thu settle (CNBC @SP.1 / @ND.1 / @DJ.1 = Yahoo ES=F / NQ=F / YM=F dated 10-08 bars, ~06:25Z): +0.22 / +0.58 / +0.04%. 00Z: within 0.1%. CNBC vs Thu market close (~06:35Z; live, not CMT): US2Y +1.6bp, US5Y +1.0bp, US10Y +1.3bp, US30Y +1.7bp. CNBC blog (04:14Z): 10Y down less than 1bp. DXY −0.08% (CNBC) / −0.10% vs Thu bar (Yahoo DX-Y.NYB); EUR= +0.15%; JPY= +0.23%; @GC.1 +1.45% (= Yahoo GC=F vs Thu bar, +1.44%). Falsifier: run 1 (10-09-00); bars and class base in the 10-09-00 block.**
  - uncertainty: 🟢 the futures, dollar and gold moves are two-sourced; 🟡 the yield moves are live, single-sourced and small enough to change sign; 🔵 futures are not the scored instrument, and no driver is established.

- 🟡 **CRUDE AND THE STORM — oil down about 0.9% after Trump's Iran pledge; Isaias at 105 mph, landfall expected Friday night or early Saturday.** November `CLX26` is about **−0.8%** and December Brent about **−0.9%** against Thursday's settles (CNBC settle fields = Yahoo dated 10-08 bars). Both are live globex ticks. **What the outlets say:** CNBC's blog (02:49Z) says oil fell as Trump said in a Truth Social post that the U.S. "will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections," and was having "productive discussions" with Iran. investingLive's digest cites a New York Times report that the Pentagon has drawn up options for "a short, intense campaign of roughly three days against Iran"; I have not checked the Times report. I record the price and establish no cause; crude is a context line, not a falsifier input. **The storm:** NHC's 06:00Z intermediate advisory 10A has **Hurricane Isaias** at **105 mph**, 972 mb, moving NNE at 14 mph, about 230 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi. NHC says it "could briefly become a major hurricane" before landfall within the warning area, which it expects Friday night or early Saturday. The hurricane and storm surge warnings are unchanged.
  - evidence: **CLX26 −0.82% vs Thu settle 91.49 (CNBC @CL.1 settle field = Yahoo CLX26.NYM 10-08 bar, ~06:25Z; live). Brent Dec −0.90% vs Thu 104.28 (CNBC @LCO.1 = Yahoo BZZ26.NYM 10-08 bar; live). 00Z: within about 0.1% of settles. CNBC blog (02:49Z): Trump Truth Social post on Iran. investingLive digest (03:22Z): NYT report on Iran strike options. NHC Isaias intermediate advisory 10A (06:00Z): hurricane, 105 mph, 972 mb, NNE 14 mph; changes: none. 00Z (advisory 9A): 100 mph, 974 mb, NE 13 mph.**
  - uncertainty: 🟢 the crude moves are two-sourced; 🟢 the storm status is NHC's own, and 🟡 its strength and timing are forecasts; 🟡 the Trump post is CNBC's account and the NYT report is the digest's, both unchecked; 🔵 no cause established for crude's path.

**Watch** — **falsifier run 1**: a Fri 10-09 fire with an INERT 2Y CMT (|Δ|≤3bp off 4.75) **TRIPS**; scores **Mon 10-12 00Z** · bars in the 10-09-00 block · **futures +0.05 to +0.6%; live 2Y about +1.6bp** (not a CMT) · **Nikkei −0.02% close**; Taipei and Seoul shut · **crude about −0.9%** live · **gold about +1.4%** · **Isaias 105 mph**, landfall expected Friday night or early Saturday · **Mon 10-12 Columbus Day: no CMT**
