The averages closed. The straits counted. Melbourne has not snapped a ball.
Eight facts
- Yahoo, 4 p.m. ET: Dow 52,064.10 −0.60%. S&P 7,591.70 −0.58%. Nasdaq 26,081.72 −0.65%. Fourth red day. After the bell, Brent $108.93, WTI $103.81.

- Politics: Vance told Baier the $5,000 is a “dividend for American workers,” tariff-funded, if the GOP stays in. No income line. 9 p.m. Dallas — we will not invent it.
- Crime: Lytvynenko, four years, Conti loader. 1,000-plus victims, $150 million-plus payouts as of 2022. A sentence, not an accusation.
- International: Kpler via The National: two ships through Hormuz Thursday, nine Wednesday. Bab el-Mandeb: six vs 30. 514 stuck in the Gulf.
- Melbourne, 8:35 ET, Netflix: Donald OUT. Collins OUT for the year. Kittle and Bosa dress. No score.
- Already today: PPI 5.4%. Wolverine Metacritic 78. Kauai about 9,000 of 36,000 on. Lowell is a one-liner — still a tropical storm, still no land hazards.

What this means for you
If you hold an index, Thursday was the oil tax at noon and again at 4. If you need football, the app is Netflix and the clock is 8:35. If you are on Kauai, 9,000 on is not island-wide. 988 if the week is too much. Not investment advice.
Bottom line: 52,064. Two ships. 8:35. See you after the game — with a score that actually happened.
