During a two-day visit to Dublin, US President Donald Trump said he would love to see a unified Ireland and that it would be a great feather in everybody’s cap, noting the UK would have a say in the matter. He also suggested he could help resolve international disputes such as the Falkland Islands row and arrived amid one of Ireland’s largest security operations, meeting Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Irish President Catherine Connolly.

Chevron CEO Warns Depleted Buffers Risk Higher Prices

Chevron CEO Mike Wirth warned that the buffers and inventories cushioning oil prices have largely played out, signaling higher prices could persist in the coming months amid ongoing Iran-related supply disruptions. He also said Chevron will fund a $7 billion expansion in Venezuela from cash generated by existing ventures, while markets see diesel near $6 per gallon and Brent prices topping $100 as global supply remains tight.

Copart Agrees to Acquire ACV for $1.9 Billion

Copart has agreed to acquire ACV Auctions for about $1.9 billion in cash at $10.50 per ACV share, a roughly 45% premium, with a back-end merger expected to close by year-end 2026 and funded from Copart’s cash on hand. The deal expands Copart’s platform into dealer-to-dealer wholesale and enhances its data and AI capabilities, though investors weigh potential integration risks and the impact on cash reserves, while analysts see potential earnings accretion in the long term.

Data Centers Bring Mixed Effects to U.S. Housing Markets
Business
— Sep 9, 2026
A National Association of Realtors study finds no uniform impact of data centers on housing values; effects vary by local market, with some counties seeing higher values due to tech-hub status, while others show strain on energy and utilities. Realtors report mixed perceptions, and experts caution that data-center cluster presence alone doesn’t determine home prices, since most counties have none and concentration is limited to a few markets.

Bending Spoons S.p.A. has agreed to acquire Miro in an all-cash deal valuing Miro at an enterprise value of $1.355 billion, which, with Miro’s net cash, implies about $1.79 billion in equity, with some shareholders reinvesting $295 million into BSP equity; closing is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals. The transaction, unanimously approved by both boards, will see Miro continue to operate independently until closing as BSP expands its portfolio through continued acquisitions and integration of such platforms.

Social Security 2027 COLA Expected Near 3.5%
Finance

Analysts project the 2027 Social Security COLA to be about 3.4% to 3.6%, with the official 3.5% announcement expected on Oct. 14 and the largest raise in years likely boosting the average check by around $70. Spousal benefits could push past $1,000 for some households as the COLA, driven by ongoing inflation, may not fully close the gap on rising costs; meanwhile, the strongest possible individual benefits could reach roughly $5,181 a month if timing and earnings conditions align, though most retirees will see smaller amounts.
