The Business News Headlines 7 October 2026

Our first story today is about the Federal Reserve and what looks like a sure bet the Fed will, once again, raise rates. This is the Business News Headlines for Wednesday the 7th day of October and thanks for being with us. In other news, the head of the International Monetary Fund urges nations to control debt and AI. Ahead of the midterms you may very well experience a furry of robocalls. What do farmers and truckers have to say about using dyed diesel fuel? We’ll share. And we will check the numbers in The Wall Street Report. Finally, we’ll have a story about audiobooks and Spotify.
