The Business News Headlines 9 July 2024

For some of you it took until today to get back in the swing of things. I know our phones were lighting up all morning long.  Welcome back! This is the early edition of the Business News Headlines where all we ask is that you give us eight minutes to share some of the top business news stories of the day and we kick things off with a look at what small business owners are thinking about...well, business. Meanwhile, 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:

• The National Federation of Independent Business and their latest survey;
• What small business owners are dealing with and their confidence;
• Fed Chair Powell made comments in the Senate Banking Committee;
• What we know about ourselves could be in jeopardy. We'll explain;
• The Wall Street Report;
• Etsy is making a giant U-Turn in their business model and why.

Thanks for being here!
