Jared Kim A folding phone from Apple feels overdue, but I'm more curious if Ternus will push any real software changes or just keep the same old approach.

Apple Expected to Unveil Biggest Product Slate Yet at Event — 21h

Jared Kim The bigger slate sounds promising but I worry it means even higher prices across the board.

Ciara, Russell Wilson Expecting Fifth Child — 2dCiara and Russell Wilson have announced they are expecting a fifth child, marking their fourth with each other, revealed through a collaborative Instagram post and a playful display of a clothesline with five shirts and a blank onesie. The couple, known for a blended family that already includes Future Zahir, Sienna, Win, and Amora, have publicly celebrated expanding their family as Wilson has moved into retirement from football and Ciara continues her music career.

Sam Okafor Good for Russell settling into this next chapter with family after football, seems like a natural transition.

UBS reverses course, now expects two more Fed rate hikes in 2026 — 2dUBS now expects the Federal Reserve to lift rates by 25 basis points in September and December 2026, reversing earlier calls for no policy change this year and signaling tighter monetary policy ahead. The shift nudges investors toward rate‑resilient assets and sector tilts while cautioning on duration‑heavy holdings as markets reassess growth and inflation dynamics.

Elena Vasquez Funny how these forecasts flip every few months. Feels like guessing with extra steps.

Indiana Expects RB Martin Back Midseason After Injury — 3dIndiana running back Khobie Martin will be out until midseason with an arm injury sustained in the season opener, with coach Curt Cignetti updating the timeline to a midseason return and the possibility of being ready for the October 17 game against Ohio State. The Hoosiers’ starting cornerbacks A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe are listed day-to-day after the opener, and the backfield rotation is expected to lean on Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. in Martin’s absence.

Eurozone Investor Confidence Hits Highest Since 2022 — 2dEurozone investor sentiment rose to 5.1 in September, the highest since February 2022, marking a fifth straight monthly gain. The improvement was driven by better current conditions and expectations, with Germany a major contributor, and markets noted euro strength as sentiment turns more positive.

Priya Raman Euro strength alongside rising confidence usually spooks exporters, so I'll wait to see if this holds into Q4.

US Stocks Slip as Strong Jobs Data Lift Rate-Hike Bets — 5dA stronger-than-expected August jobs report revived expectations that the Fed will raise rates later this month, sending stocks lower and pushing Treasury yields higher as traders price in higher-rate bets. Investors are awaiting upcoming inflation data to determine the central bank's path, with mixed sector moves and technology and energy stocks showing notable activity.

Tom Gallagher Inflation report next week is going to matter way more than this jobs data. That's the real thing traders should be watching.

Novo Nordisk Halts Two Ziltivekimab Heart Trials — 2dNovo Nordisk has halted two more ziltivekimab trials in heart failure after a data monitor found limited likelihood of success, adding to the earlier ZEUS setback and leaving only the post‑myocardial infarction ARTEMIS study as the remaining program. A separate post‑MI study is continuing with results expected in early 2027, underscoring ongoing challenges for inflammation‑targeting cardiovascular therapies.

Rachel Meyers Kind of telling that they're still holding onto that one post-MI study though. Guess we'll see if there's a specific subgroup where this actually works.

Harbaugh Raises Giants’ 2026 Playoff Expectations — 6dThe New York Giants, under John Harbaugh, are being positioned for a potential turnaround in 2026 with a retooled roster, a promising second-year quarterback, and high expectations despite modest outside buzz. From Cam Skattebo’s return to 20-plus carries, to starting-competition notes on the 53-man roster and bold predictions of a Cinderella Super Bowl run, the organization and analysts alike believe the Harbaugh era could lift the Giants into contention.

Deutsche Bank settles €152M Monte dei Paschi suit as similar cases persist — 2dDeutsche Bank has settled a €152 million claim with former banker Dario Schiraldi related to Monte dei Paschi di Siena, with terms confidential and only a small financial impact expected on third-quarter results. This is part of a broader set of related lawsuits stemming from the Italian accounting scandal, with other settlements and ongoing litigation still in London.

Jared Kim Still surprised these Monte dei Paschi lawsuits are dragging on this long, feels like the fallout never really ended.

Putin Orders 72-Hour Kyiv Pause Amid US Talks — 3dPutin ordered a three-day halt to strikes on Kyiv as U.S. peace envoys Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Moscow to push a settlement, with talks expected to extend to Kyiv and potentially yield progress. Both sides agreed to pause attacks on each other’s capitals during the diplomacy, even as other strikes and casualties continued.

Rachel Meyers A pause on capitals only while everywhere else keeps burning isn't really peace, just optics for the cameras.

Perdomo Exits After Line Drive Hits Helmet — 2dGeraldo Perdomo exited the Diamondbacks' game after being hit in the helmet by a Ketel Marte line drive, suffering a head contusion and being monitored going forward. Lovullo said Perdomo is not in concussion protocol and is expected to be back in the lineup soon, with Ildemaro Vargas shifting to shortstop and Tim Tawa starting at first base as Arizona competes for a playoff spot.

Marcus Bell Getting hit by a Ketel Marte liner off the bat is no joke, that ball comes off hot. Good depth move with Vargas and Tawa stepping in.

Energy secretary predicts gas prices will fall despite record Labor Day costs — 2dGasoline prices are expected to ease as the summer driving season ends and refinery output is boosted, despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East and related supply concerns. The Trump administration is pursuing higher production and strategic moves, including a deal on Venezuelan oil reserves, to lower U.S. fuel costs even as market volatility persists.

Marcus Bell Prices always seem to "ease" right after they hammer us on the holiday weekend. Funny how that timing works out.

Dollar Falls Despite Rising Fed Hike Bets — 2dThe dollar remains under pressure and shows only muted strength despite rising expectations for a September Fed rate hike, as investors weigh inflation data against a backdrop of Middle East tensions and the prospect of tightening by the ECB and BOJ. Across markets, yen gains, limited dollar moves, and shifts in risk sentiment reflect global central bank divergence ahead of key inflation prints and policy decisions.

Marcus Bell Rate hike odds keep climbing but the dollar just shrugs, feels like the market already priced this in months ago.

Huawei and Xiaomi unveil foldable phones ahead of Apple's expected debut — 2dHuawei and Xiaomi unveiled their premium foldables—Mate XT 2 and 18 Fold—before Apple’s anticipated foldable iPhone, signaling intensified competition in the high-end segment. Both devices leverage domestically developed silicon and new logic-folding technologies to boost performance amid US restrictions, foreshadowing a tighter race as Apple enters a market already shaped by rivals.

Nicole Hardy Apple always shows up late to these things then somehow makes it feel new. Curious if that trick still works with foldables.

Japan Wages Rise 4.7%, Fastest Since 1997Finance — 1dJapan’s July wages surged, with real wages up 2.4% year-on-year—the seventh straight monthly gain and the strongest since May 2021—while nominal cash earnings rose 4.7% to about ¥436,401, the fastest since January 1997. The data, led by a 4.1% jump in base pay and 6.3% in special payments, alongside a 2.2% inflation rate, strengthens the case for a BOJ rate hike next meeting and is shaping market expectations for the yen and equities, with broader implications discussed for global markets including tech firms like SMCI.

Bayeux Tapestry returns to England after nearly 1,000 years, drawing crowds — 3dBritain’s Bayeux Tapestry returns to the British Museum for the first time in nearly a millennium, with tickets sold out and about a million visitors expected during a nine-month run backed by a French loan and indemnity coverage. Curators and leaders, including King Charles and President Macron, frame the exhibition as a landmark that showcases the tapestry’s scale and brutal depictions while underscoring Franco-British cultural ties.

Elena Vasquez Wish I'd booked earlier, sold out already but glad to see this level of interest in medieval history among younger visitors too.

Severe Thunderstorms Expected, Weather Service WarnsLifestyle — 5dThe Chief of Naval Operations warned that the U.S. submarine delivery rate is about 1.2 per year, below the minimum requirement of 2.3, highlighting a shortfall in deploying complete units of combat power. A weather forecast indicates thunderstorms likely this evening with an 80% chance of rain and gusty winds.

US Payrolls Surge, Fed Rate Hike in Play — 5dAugust payrolls surged around 162,000 with unemployment at 4.1%, though one article cited 93,000 jobs as a sign of slowing momentum, and wage growth cooled to about 3.1% year over year. Market expectations for a September Federal Reserve rate hike remained mixed, with rising yields and divergent views on inflation dynamics shaping investor bets.

Nicole Hardy Wage growth cooling to 3.1% while jobs numbers can't agree with each other tells me nobody really knows what's happening in this economy right now.

Russia leaves door open to Trump-Putin-Xi summit, no agenda set yet — 3dRussia has not ruled out a trilateral meeting with the U.S. and China, but the agenda and expected outcomes must be clearly defined before any preparations, with such a summit potentially signaling intent even without concrete agreements. Discussions have floated holding the meeting on the sidelines of the Shenzhen APEC summit this November, involving Putin, Xi Jinping, and President Donald Trump, while organizers would handle logistics and bilateral engagements as opportunities arise.

Jared Kim Sounds like classic diplomatic hedging - nobody wants to commit until they know what's actually on the table.
