The Business News Headlines and More 14 April 2026

We kick things off this evening with a story about inflation the good and the bad and what impact that had on Wall Street. This is The Business News Headlines for Tuesday the 14th day of April, thanks for listening. In other news, diplomats are working behind the scene to restart talks between Iran and the United States. A call to take Ben & Jerry’s ice cream back to local control. The Walt Disney Company has started a big round of layoffs. Yet another court case involving Meta and its effort to impact kids. 7 Eleven is set to close hundreds of stores this year. We’ll check some impressive numbers in The Wall Street Report and some big news from Amazon and it has to do with space. For the conversation we’ll hear from Katie Shields from the Iowa Society of CPAs about what they do and a special event coming early next month…but first the news.
