The Business News Headlines 2 July 2026
from Insight On Business the News Hour · host Michael Libbie
The economists guessed wrong as the U.S. adds fewer jobs in June and that is where we start this evening. This is the Business News Headlines for Thursday the 2nd day of July, thanks for being here and a reminder we're off on Friday in honor of the 4th of July holiday. In other news, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made the news today and it’s pretty cool. The high heat we’ve been experiencing is raising the temperature of those concerned with data centers. The $1,000 gift for newborns goes into effect this weekend. StubHub is getting sued…think World Cup. In another World Cup story we’re talking about pubs in England and Wales. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and fruity drinks are making a splash at Starbucks. Let’s go! Thanks for listening!
