The Business News Headlines 5 June 2024

Today is the day before the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. President Biden is in France to deliver remarks on this historic event. Not many members of the military are still with us however, you can do your part in simply remembering this massive effort that led to the salvation of Europe. Had this not been successful we may have been living in a very different world.  Thanks for being with us today and if you want to reach out to us on Social Media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:
