πGood morning. Yesterday, world leaders touched down in New York ahead of the UN's big annual gathering β the one week a year when practically every head of state ends up stuck in the same five-mile radius, with today's General Debate set to bring the photo ops and pledges about global cooperation. It's a nice piece of theatre. But while the world's diplomats prepare their big speeches, the actual business world kept doing what it does regardless of who's about to take the podium: mergers got cleared, chip stocks kept climbing, and the fight over who gets to cover a US president got a lot messier. Global unity might be this week's theme in midtown Manhattan. Down on the ground, it's still every company for itself.
