Here's what happened on September 16, 2019:

• Saudi Oil Facilities Drone Attack Disrupts Global Oil Production On September 16, 2019, drone attacks targeted key oil production facilities in Saudi Arabia, causing a significant disruption in global oil production. The attacks halted approximately half of Saudi Arabia's oil production capacity, leading to a dramatic 15% surge in oil prices. Houthi rebels from Yemen initially claimed responsibility, but U.S. officials suggested Iranian involvement, which Tehran denied. President Trump stated the U.S. was 'locked and loaded' but awaiting definitive confirmation of the attack's origin.
• Federal Reserve Repo Market Intervention In a prelude to the COVID-19 economic disruption, the Federal Reserve conducted emergency operations in the repo (repurchase agreement) market due to an unexpected overnight spike in lending rates. This intervention signaled potential underlying financial market instability five months before the major stock market crash.
• Iran Denies Involvement in Saudi Oil Facilities Attack Following the Saudi oil facilities drone attack, Iran strongly rejected accusations of involvement, calling them 'unacceptable and baseless'. Iraq also confirmed to the U.S. that its territory was not used in the attack. Saudi Arabia maintained that Iranian weapons were employed in the strikes, escalating diplomatic tensions in the region.
• United Auto Workers Strike Against General Motors On September 16, 2019, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union initiated a nationwide strike against General Motors after contract negotiations broke down. This was the first national UAW strike since 2007, involving over 46,000 workers across more than 50 U.S. facilities. The primary disputes centered on pay, health-care benefits, and job security. GM had proposed $7 billion in investments and over 5,400 new jobs, but union leaders felt the economic terms were insufficient.
