Ares, PSP Establish $2.4B U.S. Logistics JV — 3dAres Management and the Public Sector Pension Investment Board have launched a joint venture to invest up to $2.4 billion in U.S. logistics real estate, starting with a 5.2 million-square-foot seed portfolio of 14 properties in California, Texas, and New Jersey, with Marq Logistics leading sourcing and asset management. The venture combines Ares' real estate platform and PSP Investments' capital to target cash-flowing assets in high-growth markets amid growing demand from onshoring, digital infrastructure expansion, and e-commerce.

Tom Gallagher Starting with 5 million square feet already leased is a safer bet than chasing new builds in a crowded market.

Somyn Journal app swaps calorie counts for emotional reflectionsBusiness — 20hAurora Dawn Ventures has released Somyn Journal, a reflection-based app that replaces number-driven tracking with open-ended prompts about emotions and body sensations to help users gain context on personal habits around food, movement, and relationships. By focusing on how they feel rather than counts, users build a personal record that reveals patterns, such as energy from home cooking or physical tension from certain interactions, aimed at reducing anxiety and disconnection from the body.

Elena Vasquez This approach could help people notice how home-cooked meals boost their mood without obsessing over numbers.

The move comes as Dow restructures its portfolio amid a downturn in the chemicals industry, and the news pushed Dow shares higher in premarket trading while Sadara remains a cornerstone of the Saudi petrochemical complex.

Dana Whitfield This move could lift Dow's value if they get a solid offer amid the current industry slump.

Yan, born in 1991 and a GL Ventures partner, will handle investor relations and financial management as the startup transitions toward conventional financing and public-market readiness.

Sam Okafor DeepSeek's 500 billion yuan valuation before IPO looks aggressive given the chip spending, but the CFO hire should help steady investor talks.

The Washington Post reports multiple Democrats and aides outlining a coordinated oversight push, including probes into cryptocurrency ventures and the restructuring of federal government agencies.

Chris Dalton Investigations into any president's family business deals should follow evidence, not just party control of the House.

He also said Chevron will fund a $7 billion expansion in Venezuela from cash generated by existing ventures, while markets see diesel near $6 per gallon and Brent prices topping $100 as global supply remains tight.

Sam Okafor Chevron spending its own cash on the Venezuela expansion makes sense, but it won't fix the tight global supply that the CEO highlighted.

Morgan Stanley Sees Up to $17 Billion in Annual Tesla Semi Software Revenue — Sep 11, 2026Morgan Stanley’s note estimates Tesla’s autonomous Semi software could generate 12,000–18,000 dollars per truck per month, potentially reaching about 17 billion dollars in software revenue by 2040 with 82,000 Semis on the road, far eclipsing current consumer FSD revenue. Tesla is expanding the Semi into Europe with specifications like a 550-kilometer range and fast Megacharger charging, leveraging high diesel prices to accelerate adoption, while Musk’s ventures like Boring Company attract large funding for tunnel projects.
