As Russian Athletics appeals to CAS and the IOC allows some Russian participation in Los Angeles qualifiers, Coe says the path to full global participation will require resolution, while other sports have begun easing restrictions.

Elena Vasquez The CAS appeal could drag this out, but easing restrictions now would undermine years of progress against state-sponsored cheating.

Meanwhile, August retail sales data loom as a barometer of consumer resilience, with market expectations split on whether the Fed will hike or hold amid evolving forecasts.

Jared Kim Holding rates steady makes sense until we see if sales hold up amid all this uncertainty.

Apollo Eyes $20 Billion J&J Orthopedics Unit — Sep 11, 2026Apollo Global Management is poised to acquire Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes orthopedics unit for about $20 billion, a deal that would value the asset at roughly two times its sales as J&J considers a tax-free spin-off or other paths to sharpen focus on higher-growth healthcare areas.

Marcus Bell Two times sales feels fair given the revenue but the lawsuits could still force a lower final price.
