The Business News Headlines 25 August 2026

Dolly Parton was not only a gifted singer/songwriter but also a sharp business person and that is where we start this evening.  This is the Business News Headlines for Tuesday the 25th day of August, thank you for being with us. In other news, falling oil prices helped the major U.S. indexes end in the green. We’ll take yet another look at what Canada has done with it’s own set of tariffs against the United States and offer you some information regarding the many false statements made by President Trump about Canada in a link to CNN Fact Check by Daniel Dale…amazing. While the price of oil fell today consumers are still seeing gasoline above 4 dollars and we have a new report on consumer confidence. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and what in the world is the matter with Target?  The chain can’t seem to even do Halloween correctly.   Thanks for listening!
