  Conservative activist Charlie Kirk fatally shot at Utah college event. Kirk, 31, died yesterday after being shot while speaking onstage at an event at Utah Valley University. He hosted a popular podcast, was a staunch ally of President Trump, and, as a teenager in 2012, founded Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization now active at over 3,500 college campuses. The assassination was the latest in a recent wave of political violence and was condemned by lawmakers from both parties. An initial suspect in the shooting was released from custody last night after being interrogated by law enforcement, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” Trump, who ordered flags to be flown at half mast through Sunday, wrote on social media.

• S&P 500, Nasdaq eke out record closing highs after weak PPI inflation data

  Stocks ended mostly higher on Wednesday following a weaker-than-expected producer-price index for August that reinforced the likelihood of an interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week.

  
  

  The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite secured their 23rd record closes of the year. Shares of Oracle Corp. surged 36% on Wednesday after OpenAI agreed to purchase $300 billion in computing power from the company.

  
  

  Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell amid concerns about how investors might interpret tomorrow's consumer price index for August.

  
  

  The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 220.42 points, or 0.5%, to finish at 45,490.92, according to preliminary data.

  
  

  The S&P 500 rose 19.43 points, or 0.3%, to close at 6,532.04.

  
  

  The Nasdaq Composite rose 6.57 points to end at 21,886.06.

• API unveils permitting reform blueprint
  Surging power demand from AI data centers and rising household energy...
  Surging power demand from AI data centers and rising household energy bills are creating political urgency for a sweeping permitting overhaul, said American Petroleum Institute President and CEO Mike Sommers. The group's new policy plan calls for stricter federal review deadlines, narrower environmental assessments, expanded use of categorical exclusions and tighter curbs on legal challenges. "I believe that not just from a policy perspective do we need to get this done, but I think it is going to be a political imperative to get this done soon," Sommers said.

  Cenovus Energy has reached an agreement to sell its 50% stake in a joint venture (JV) with Phillips 66 (PSX) for $1.4 billion cash, the companies said Sept. 9. The transaction is expected to close in fourth-quarter 2025.
  
  The divestiture comes after Cenovus said on Aug. 22 it would purchase fellow Canadian oil sands producer MEG Energy Corp. in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $5.7 billion.
  
  The WRB Refining LP is a 50-50 JV that owns the Wood River refinery in Roxana, Illinois, and the Borger refinery in Borger, Texas. Phillips 66 has operated both facilities since the inception of the JV in 2007.
  
  The refineries can process heavy and medium sour crudes, as well as light sweet crudes. Both refineries also produce a high percentage of transportation fuels, Phillips 66 said.
