The Business News Headlines and More 1 September 2026

Traditionally September is a lousy month for the stock market and if today is any clue to what is in story...we're keeping up with tradition. This is the Business News Headlines for Tuesday the 1st day of September, thanks for being with us. In other business news, what is driving the markets down and oil up?  New military strikes. Oil giant Chevron is headed to Venezuela. More tariff talk this time at the G-20 summit. Social Media companies are trying to figure out who are adults and who are…kids…it’s complicated. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and for the conversation you’ll meet Kylie Spies who is with Common Good Iowa as she spells out the reasons for voters to reject the upcoming vote on a Constitutional Amendment.  But, first the news.
