At least 95 people contracted salmonella linked to Country Eggs LLC's "Sunshine Yolks" large brown cage-free eggs, prompting a recall of products bearing code CA-7695 with sell-by dates through September 18 in California and Nevada. Japan postponed a Washington trip and paused a $550 billion investment deal amid a dispute over whether a new 15% tariff was applied correctly. In June, new homes became 9% cheaper than existing homes as builders cut prices, reduced floor plans, and offered incentives like lower mortgage rates while homeowners with low rates kept inventory scarce. Consumers are holding assets, companies are simplifying, and global trade remains shaky.
It's been one of those weeks where business news managed to cover just about everything: food safety, trade drama, housing weirdness, mall nostalgia, layoffs, and even Taylor Swift's love life. Some stories hit directly at everyday life-like what's in your fridge or how much you pay for a house. Others reminded us how fast global policies can change, or how a logo tweak can wipe millions off a company's market cap.
A few themes cut through the noise: Consumers are holding on to what they've got (whether that's jobs or houses), companies are scrambling to simplify, and global trade still feels as shaky as ever. But there were also signs of experimentation-such as Delta literally letting customers choose its next destination. Oh, and in case you somehow missed it: The biggest celebrity engagement of the year came this week and brought some very big numbers along with it.
