    25 Years Since 9/11, Diesel Above $6 A Gallon

    Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Politicians and public figures will gather today marking 25 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks in the United States National remembrance ceremonies will take place to honor the more than 3,000 people killed that day. This year, the National September 11th Memorial & Museum is adding a seventh moment of silence at 12:30pm, honoring thousands whose lives were cut short by illnesses linked to the toxic aftermath of the attacks. More than 8,000 people enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program have since died, and officials say tens of thousands continue to battle 9/11-related health conditions. The FDNY will also lead a moment of silence at 9:11a E at the Times Square triangle, before heading to the NASDAQ to ring the opening bell. 2) A six-member bloc of Gulf states are considering meeting with Iranian officials to discuss the future of the Strait of Hormuz, people familiar with the matter said. Oman is aiming to get foreign ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council and Iran together on Monday in Salalah, according to a person familiar with the matter. The meeting is not confirmed and worsening hostilities between Saudi-backed forces and the Houthis may complicate the plans, another person said.3) Diesel prices rose above $6 a gallon for the first time ever, raising the risk of further energy-driven inflation. The impact of record-high diesel prices will trickle down to consumers as diesel is a key input in food prices, the cost of shipping and construction. Geopolitical turmoil has sharply curtailed the world’s ability to produce and ship sufficient quantities of diesel, with fighting around the Strait of Hormuz and lost refining capacity limiting production and distribution.

    Trump's $5,000 Offer to Voters; Iran Warns of War Escalation

    Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump offered voters a quid pro quo, saying elect Republicans and get a $5,000 payout, which he called the Trump dividend. The proposal is unlikely to become law, as fellow Republicans have already rejected similar ideas and Congress would need to approve a cash payment program with a price tag well over $1 trillion. Trump's announcement was met with skepticism, with some seeing it as a desperate attempt to motivate voters and others predicting it will backfire, particularly given the US debt at record levels.2) Iran is ready for a more intense war and will escalate counterstrikes if the US continues attacking its territory and infrastructure, according to a senior official. The US and Iran have been engaged in a war for seven months, with recent tit-for-tat attacks pushing up energy prices and adding pressure on President Trump to end the conflict. Iran's leaders believe they have little choice but to keep fighting until they're confident Washington will be too wary to attack again in future, despite the worsening economic situation in the country.3) Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, the company's first foldable smartphone, which will improve on rivals' foldable models. The iPhone Duo has a 7.6-inch screen, an outer 5.4-inch screen, and will be able to work with the iPad's Apple Pencil stylus, with a cost starting at $1,999. The device will be available for preorder on Oct. 16 in more than 70 countries and regions, ahead of its release on Oct. 23, and will sit at the top of Apple's iPhone lineup.

    Oil Surges Past $100 on Tanker Attacks; Apple to Unveil Foldable Phone

    Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Brent oil topped $100 a barrel for the first time since July, as attacks between the US and Iran and a recovery in Chinese oil buying propel the global crude benchmark higher. The conflict has disrupted flows through the crucial Strait of Hormuz chokepoint, although millions of barrels a day continue to cross the waterway — mostly on tankers with their signals turned off. The continued disruption means inventories have continued to decline across the globe, with analytics firm Vortexa seeing the amount of oil on ships at sea down by more than 150 million barrels since the middle of July.2) Apple's $570 billion summer surge is saddling new Chief Executive Officer John Ternus with high expectations heading into the company’s most anticipated event in years: the unveiling of the foldable iPhone on Wednesday. Apple's stock has rallied 15% since June 25, driven by excitement about the new lineup of devices, particularly the foldable phone. The company's revenue is expected to rise 15% in fiscal 2026, which would be the fastest pace of growth since 2021. Apple's ability to protect profitability is critical for a stock that has grown increasingly expensive, with a valuation well above its 10-year average multiple and the S&P 500.3) Representative Chris Pappas won the Democratic primary for a New Hampshire Senate seat, setting up a November showdown with former Republican Senator John Sununu. The seat is a must-win for Democrats in a state that hasn’t elected a Republican senator in 16 years, with a loss complicating the party’s chances of securing a Senate majority. Pappas defeated medical scientist Karishma Manzur, earning roughly 60% support, while Sununu defeated Scott Brown, leading with almost 70% of the vote.

    Canada Imposes Fresh Tariffs; Oil Climbs amid Saudi Strikes

    Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Canada imposed tariffs of 15% to 50% on hundreds of products from the US as Prime Minister Mark Carney bets that standing up to President Donald Trump will help Ottawa's negotiating position. The measure will hit US exporters particularly hard in states such as Michigan and Ohio that do a lot of business with Canada and host heated races in November's midterm elections. Canada's retaliatory tariffs are meant to make the cost of this trade war real enough for American businesses and consumers that Washington sees a clear incentive to return to the table.2) Brent oil approached $100 a barrel after Saudi Arabia said operations at several energy facilities were halted by attacks. The state-run Saudi Press Agency said the strikes took place Tuesday and wounded a number of people, with Iran-backed Houthi militants saying they targeted the kingdom's Jazan refinery and facilities. Markets are increasingly pricing a prolonged Mideast conflict, with Goldman Sachs analysts modestly raising the bank's oil-price estimates on the assumption that shipping disruptions will persist into 2027.3) The yen is closing in on its strongest level this year after a break through 155 per dollar triggered stop-loss orders, putting the 152 area firmly in traders’ sights. Expectations for tighter BOJ policy have provided a more fundamental source of support, while the break through 155 is now adding technical momentum. The yen’s rally has also extended across major crosses including the euro, pound and Australian dollar, pointing to broad-based strength rather than simply dollar weakness.

    Vance Says Iran Conflict Isn’t a ‘War’; August Jobs in Focus

    Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) US Vice President JD Vance downplayed the scope of the conflict in Iran, saying he would not describe it as “a war” given major combat operations ended months ago — even after a brief resumption of military strikes earlier in the week.2) Bloomberg Economics expects the unemployment rate to rise in August, and payroll gains to increase at a subpar pace. We see risks to our forecast tilted toward a higher unemployment rate and even lower payrolls.3) Anthropic PBC is set to finalize an expansion of its revolving credit facility to $15 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, clearing a hurdle before the artificial intelligence firm’s public filing for its highly anticipated IPO.

    US-Iran War Stalled; Diesel Hits Four-Year High

    Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US and Iran have intensified tit-for-tat military strikes, with Iran hitting merchant vessels and the US striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites. Iran said the US killed 18 people with its attacks, and vowed to punish Washington for a strike on a wedding ceremony that killed at least four people and injured 67. The conflict has led to a rise in energy prices, with Brent crude oil climbing more than 6% this week to $95 a barrel, and US pump prices for diesel at a four-year high.2) US retail diesel prices have hit the highest since mid-2022, topping a peak seen during the early stages of the Iran war. The national average pump price climbed to $5.783 a gallon on Wednesday, surpassing the wartime peak set in April, and is approaching the all-time high of $5.816 in June 2022. The surge in prices presents a political headache for President Donald Trump, as he contends with mounting cost-of-living concerns before November’s midterm elections.3) A disagreement between Chinese and US officials at a Group of 20 finance chiefs meeting revolved around a dispute over the phrase “non-market” in a sentence addressing trade imbalances. The US side attributed the impasse to disagreements on language spanning issues from critical minerals to debt restructuring, while Chinese officials saw the term as a veiled attack on state-owned companies. The final chair statement from the US included a line saying countries should agree to “eliminate non-market policies and practices that exacerbate imbalances,” which was opposed by China.
