👋Good morning. Wednesday mornings have a particular energy — the weekend's a memory, Friday's still a rumour, and everyone's just trying to get through the inbox without crying into their second coffee. Yesterday's business world matched that mood: big, audacious numbers getting thrown around in boardrooms while, underneath, the usual mess of lawsuits, tariffs and turf wars kept grinding on. It was a day where ambition and accountability shared the same headline space, neither one willing to make room for the other. Late August always carries a faint back-to-school hum, even for the grown-ups — that sense of a new term starting, budgets getting eyed, plans getting sharpened before autumn arrives properly. Yesterday's stories leaned into that same energy: big swings, bigger price tags, and a reminder that someone, somewhere, is always doing the maths on what it's all really worth. Here's what you missed.
