Fed Chair Kevin Warsh used his Aug. 28 keynote speech at Jackson Hole to drive home the point that inflation is broader than the headline rate suggests, speaking directly to the everyday experiences of a rising price level that most people have been having for a while now. Specifically, Warsh said 54% of the 199 items in the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, which is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, had risen by more than 3% in the 12 months through summer 2026, versus 32% of those items in the two decades before the pandemic.
That's a bit of an awkward situation for the companies that make up the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), whose stellar growth in 2026 has been built on profits that are much higher than average. In short, the next thing the market will need to deal with is, in all probability, a Federal Reserve that's keen on making businesses pay more for each dollar of borrowing, which could in turn end up leading to investors paying less for each dollar of profit ***** ociated with the ***** ets they buy.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Here's how that could unfold, and soon.
After the Sept. 11 inflation report showed that consumer prices are still rising at a faster-than-desired pace, the odds of a rate hike by the Fed at its meeting on Sept. 16 were 90%, per the CME FedWatch. Warsh also said in his speech that he'd struggle to call the current set of financial conditions restrictive. That obviously means that investors need to brace for higher rates.

In an early offseason move, the Kansas City Chiefs shocked the football world when they traded away former All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams. After all, how could a Chiefs team, ostensibly in the middle of a Super Bowl window, trade away a 26-year-old cornerback entering his prime like McDuffie? Couldn't they have used him during monster matchups like their home date with the Denver Broncos on Monday night?
At face value, the move is honestly still kind of baffling from a Kansas City perspective, considering that older Chiefs veterans like Travis Kelce and Chris Jones aren't getting any younger. But as you watch the Chiefs' defense try to adjust without McDuffie, know that they did have a good reason for dealing one of their better young players.
As explained by ESPN's Nate Taylor, the Chiefs entered the 2026 offseason knowing they wanted a big draft haul so they could try to open a new Super Bowl window while their current core begins to age out of the NFL. After reviewing their best options, they eventually came to the conclusion that trading away McDuffie, a player they weren't too keen on giving a lucrative contract extension to, was their optimal path toward that goal.
I would say acquiring a first-round draft pick in 2026 (which became defensive tackle Peter Woods) and a host of other solid draft ****** ets for McDuffie was a pretty good deal for the team, with all things considered.

A-listers including Claire Danes, Noah Wyle and Kaley Cuoco stepped out to one of the hottest parties ahead of the Emmys: The Motion Picture & Television Fund's big, star-studded bash to raise funds and awareness for the organization.
The party, which was co-hosted by PEOPLE, took place at Pacific Design Center on September 13, 2026 in West Hollywood; it was the 20th annual event, held to raise money for the MPTF organization, which supports members of the entertainment industry in need. Stars from some of the biggest and most Emmy nominated shows on TV, including The Pitt, The Gilded Age, Abbott Elementary and Pluribus, mixed and mingled (and, in some cases, gave us an ER reunion that melted our hearts).

If you turn to Gordon Ramsay for cooking advice, the legendary chef is probably going to have some useful info, but if it's frozen food you're curious about, the man has sent some mixed signals over the years. As a famous TV yeller/chef, Ramsay is known for speaking his mind on foods he won't touch, and one thing he's been keen to attack in the past is frozen food meals. While many of us might turn to a frozen pizza or burrito for a cheap, quick meal when we don't have the energy to cook, Ramsay once told Bon Appétit it's the one type of food he refuses to eat.
As for why we won't touch frozen food, Ramsay's reasons are understandable, but they're also a little tone-deaf. "It's so easy to prepare a quick meal using fresh produce, such as a simple stir-fry, but people still resort to ready meals that all taste exactly the same," he told the outlet. It's certainly true that there are plenty of quick and easy recipes if you're in a rush and that plenty of frozen foods are of less-than-ideal quality.
But in the life of most non-celebrity chefs, there are times when you simply don't have the ingredients, time, or energy to cook. Additionally, it appears that Ramsay doesn't think every frozen meal tastes the same, or else he wouldn't have launched his own line of frozen meals called "By Chef Ramsay" in 2023. Maybe his frozen chicken pot pie really is that much better?

While the transfer window may be shut, Ajax are not quite done yet in reinforcing the squad. According to De Telegraaf, Ajax are just one of a number of sides keen on signing now former Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma. The 30-year-old is a free agent, having left Tottenham this summer. Other sides from top five leagues are interested in the former Tottenham man, so it is by no means guaranteed that Ajax will land the Malian international.
Yet Ajax have shown an ability to pull in some big named players this summer. Julian Brandt left Borussia Dortmund for Ajax during the recent transfer window and is already proving to be a good signing for the Dutch side.
Bissouma, when fit, would certainly add some quality to the Ajax midfield. Last year the Malian only managed 11 games for Tottenham. Overall, he played 111 games for Tottenham, scoring twice. Prior to that he excelled with Brighton after coming through the Lille system, having moved to France from Real Bamako as a teenager.

India will begin their three-match T20I series against Afghanistan in New Delhi on Sunday, with the team facing a selection call between young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and experienced wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson.
Sooryavanshi played in the first two T20Is during India's England tour before Samson returned to the playing XI for the final match. The team management now has another chance to ******* s both players ahead of the Asian Games in ******* an.
Samson and Abhishek Sharma have formed a more settled opening combination for India in T20Is. However, Sooryavanshi's attacking style gives the team another option at the top.
During Friday's net session, Samson appeared slightly more in control, while Sooryavanshi spent time facing Jasprit ******* rah and learning how to deal with movement off the surface.
The 15-year-old could enjoy the Afghanistan attack, with none of their bowlers matching ******* rah's quality. Afghanistan's pace could also suit Sooryavanshi's aggressive, stand-and-deliver style.
Samson's omission in England after three failures also raised questions, especially given his experience in the format.
India could also consider playing both Samson and Sooryavanshi if Ishan Kishan is ruled out.
Kishan had a back injury scare during Friday's net session. He comes into the series after a brilliant Duleep Trophy final, where he scored 270 and 80.
Kishan will be keen to play because T20Is remain the only format in which he is currently a regular for India.
The three-match series will give India's Asian Games-bound players valuable preparation against a strong Afghanistan side.
Afghanistan have a world-class spin attack featuring Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad and Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Facing them in three T20Is will be a major test for India's batters ahead of the Asian Games in ******* an.
When will the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I be played?
The first T20I between India and Afghanistan will be played on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Where will the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I be played?
The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
What time will the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I start?
The first T20I will start at 7 PM IST on Sunday.
When will the toss take place?
The toss is expected to take place at around 6:30 PM IST, 30 minutes before the scheduled start of play.
Where can fans watch the India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I on TV?
The match will be telecast live in India on the Sony Sports Network.

India is all set to take on Afghanistan in the opening T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, September 13.
Shreyas Iyer's side looking to build momentum after a mixed white-ball summer that included series defeats in Ireland and England.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan will be hoping to avenge defeat in the one-off Test at Mullanpur earlier this year. Ibrahim Zadran's side has the perfectly volatile combination of a spin-heavy bowling attack and a batting lineup that's still trying to figure out their place.
With Jasprit **** rah and Washington Sundar also cleared just this week, India will be keen to prepare mentally for the upcoming Asian Games and New Zealand. The venue will also play a big part in the match.
Arun Jaitley Stadium has hosted only a handful of T20Is despite its status as one of India's most-used grounds across formats, and their most recent appearance produced one of the highest totals ever recorded there when India piled up 209 against Namibia in February 2026.

Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker officially introduced himself to the grander college football world as a budding superstar on Saturday in his team's upset home win over No. 6 Oregon.
Taking down the Ducks is no small feat, particularly for an unranked program like the Cowboys. However, Mestemaker's heroics and stellar stat line (317 passing yards, two touchdowns; 109 rushing yards, one touchdown) buffeted a Cowboys offense that scored 39 on Oregon's vaunted defense.
One touchdown saw Mestemaker quite literally take air and fly into the end zone, which feels like the defining moment of his college football career so far. It's a majestic play; no wonder the NFL may be keen on this guy.
This is the statement play every breakout game demands; what an afternoon in Stillwater for Mestemaker.

Arsenal may have just won the Premier League and reached the final of the Champions League, which means the club has been making significant amounts of money in recent campaigns.
However, the Gunners are also keen to ensure that they have their house in order financially, and the club has reportedly employed BCG to audit its finances in a bid to cut out waste.
Arsenal are one of the clubs that laid off staff during the COVID pandemic, and they also sacked their scouts and reorganised that part of the club despite the many successes it had achieved previously.
They came under significant criticism for that decision, and the Gunners will continue to do what they can to ensure the team remains the main focus of their operations.
The Daily Mail reports that BCG managing director Jean Paul Petranca is leading the review, and it has caused staff to become annoyed and shocked.

Gabriel insists ******* nal are not satisfied with winning the Premier League last season, and they have their sights set on several more trophies as a team, with many people tipping them to dominate both domestic and European football.
The Gunners finished second in three consecutive seasons before finally winning the league, and in the same season, they reached the final of the Carabao Cup and the Champions League. It was one of the best periods in the club's history, as they continued to perform consistently well under their manager.
Arteta is keen to ensure ******* nal perform at a high level during this campaign as well. The manager recognises the importance of maintaining certain standards, but his players understand this too, and they have returned for the new season as hungry as possible.
Their start to this season has been impressive, and many expect them to add more ******* les to their cabinet when the campaign ends next summer. Gabriel will be an important part of that challenge, and the defender has made it clear that the players are determined to achieve more after winning the Premier League.
Arsenal's ambition is not limited to one competition, with the squad aiming to challenge for the major trophies available to them. Gabriel believes the desire to win must remain strong, particularly because the players themselves welcome the pressure that comes with representing the club.

After a promising start with two wins, RB Leipzig have suffered back-to-back defeats to Werder Bremen and Como, sparking significant criticism in the press and on social media.
RB Leipzig managing director for sport Marcel Schäfer has now shared his thoughts on the situation, acknowledging that the team's recent performances have fallen well below expectations.
"We have, of course, seen what has been said about the club in the press and on social media over the past few days. We are highly ambitious, but we are also critical of ourselves. The last two results have not been good enough. We know that, and we are not going to sugar-coat it. We are addressing the situation very clearly internally," Schäfer said in a statement released by RB Leipzig on Friday night.
Despite the recent setbacks, Schäfer was keen to underline the club's full support for new head coach Martin Demichelis and his squad, stressing that, given the significant changes made at the club over the summer, it's only natural that the team will need time to fully gel.
"At the same time, we are staying calm and focused, and we are united as a club. That applies to everyone who works here, the players and the entire coaching staff. They all have our full support and trust," he said.

For those who work in the NHL, rookie camp is among the most exciting parts of the summer.
It's not that people particularly look forward to sitting in cold rinks, watching a bunch of 20-something-year-old NHL hopefuls practice. It's not that they're keen on watching said rookies play other teams' young guns on a glorified LiveBarn feed.
It's that it marks the beginning of the new season. In other words, rookie camp marks the end of the summer — and the beginning of the grind.
Immediately after it ends, training camp begins. Soon, teams are playing preseason games, after which the regular-season grind begins. If your team is lucky, there's playoff hockey after that. There's hardly a moment to rest, and that's exactly how they like it.
But rookie camp is different this year.

Sweden midfielder Lucas Bergvall has signed a new contract at Tottenham - three months after saying he wanted to leave.
The 20-year-old told the club he wanted a move in the summer, having had limited playing time following Roberto de Zerbi's arrival as manager towards the end of last season.
Brazil forward Richarlison, meanwhile, is currently in a dispute over his contract after a proposed move to Vasco da Gama fell through.
He is understood to be exploring his options, with BBC Sport reporting on Thursday the 29-year-old is keen to be released from the remainder of his current deal, which runs out next summer - but Spurs can also trigger a 12-month extension.
The attacker has been left out of the club's Premier League squad after a proposed deadline-day move to Everton broke down.

Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, journalist Pete O'Rourke claimed that Liverpool are keen on recruiting Bournemouth winger Rayan. O'Rourke said,
"There's obvious links between Rayan and the Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola.
"Iraola was at Bournemouth when they signed him, and obviously he made a massive impact there, he got seven goal contributions in 15 games which is pretty good going.
"Obviously, links with Liverpool are pretty easy to come up with in that respect because of who the manager is.
"Iraola is a big fan of his, having worked with him before, so of course it is a possibility and Liverpool will be keeping a close eye on his performances for Bournemouth this season.

Sweden midfielder Lucas Bergvall has signed a new contract at Tottenham - three months after saying he wanted to leave.
The 20-year-old told the club he wanted a move in the summer, having had limited playing time following Roberto de Zerbi's arrival as manager towards the end of last season.
Brazil forward Richarlison, meanwhile, is currently in a dispute over his contract and De Zerbi did not provide any update on his future.
"I don't know," said the Spurs boss in a news conference. "It's not my job."
Richarlison is understood to be exploring his options, with BBC Sport reporting on Thursday the 29-year-old is keen to be released from the remainder of his current deal, which runs out next summer - but Spurs can also trigger a 12-month extension.

It's been a long wait for this day to get here, but now we can finally turn the page to (I hope) more constructive play and move on from the UVA debacle. So what are we keeping our eyes on in the bigger picture tonight?
1.) Find at least the beginnings of an identity offensively. NC State's performance at Virginia was so bad as to look incoherent, and the offense wasn't on the field enough to develop a rhythm, much less discover its most important foundational aspects. Pretty much nothing worked, and what did—or could have—worked, often wasn't well-executed. The Pack has to take the opportunity presented by Richmond to start sorting itself out and establish concepts that work. Where's the bread and ***** er?
2.) To that end, who are the playmakers in this offense? We know that NC State would like to lean on Duke Scott and certainly he has better days ahead of him, but I'd like to see a more concerted effort to get Victor Snow the ball tonight. We learned next to nothing about the passing game in Week 0—well, nothing good, anyway—and still don't really know what we've got at receiver. It might end up essential for Snow to get 8-10 touches each week, and now's a good time to figure that out. I won't be surprised if Keenan Jackson is a focal point, either.
3.) What does this defense look like when it isn't in a bad position for 60 minutes? They were set up to fail by the offense in the first game, and Virginia never had to get out of its conservative comfort zone. Still the defense did some good things against actual handoffs, and needs to build on that. Richmond shouldn't have much of a downfield passing game to speak of, and I want to see how the defense performs against more regular passing downs.

Davide Frattesi has long wanted to play for Juventus, and the midfielder was keen to join the Bianconeri during the last transfer window. He was reportedly willing to wait for the club to make a formal approach, hoping the move to the Allianz Stadium would eventually materialise.
Frattesi had previously rejected Juventus when he was playing for Sassuolo, but he was ready to make amends and believed the opportunity to join the Turin giants was one worth pursuing. Luciano Spalletti had also become one of the best managers he had worked with, adding another important factor to the situation.
Juventus had made enquiries about Frattesi and appeared interested in bringing him to the club. The midfielder was prepared to wait for them to make their move, while Inter Milan were also open to allowing him to leave during that transfer window.
However, the Bianconeri ultimately failed to follow up on their initial interest with a formal attempt to complete the transfer. Despite Frattesi's willingness to wait for Juventus, the club did not push the situation forward, and the opportunity eventually disappeared.
Instead, Frattesi moved to Lazio, where he has enjoyed an impressive start to the season. The midfielder has quickly established himself as an important player for the Eagles and has been in outstanding scoring form.

The Baltimore Ravens are preparing for an Indianapolis Colts roster that underwent meaningful changes on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis retained Daniel Jones as its starting quarterback and added veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to a passing game featuring Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Tyler Warren. Allen gives Jones an experienced route runner who can create separation on third down and in the red zone. The Colts also reshaped portions of their offensive line. Tanor Bortolini is listed as the starting center, with Matt Goncalves at right guard and Jalen Travis at right tackle. Quenton Nelson and Bernhard Raimann provide continuity on the left side, but Baltimore can test the newer combinations with its rebuilt defensive front.
Indianapolis made its most significant defensive investment in the secondary. Sauce Gardner joins Charvarius Ward at cornerback, giving the Colts two accomplished players capable of challenging Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Baltimore's other receivers. Cam Bynum and rookie A.J. Haulcy are listed as the starting safeties.
Arden Key was added to a defensive line that already included DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart and Laiatu Latu. That group should present an immediate test for a Ravens offensive line breaking in new starters at center and right guard.
The Colts' roster is deeper and more experienced in several critical areas. Baltimore still has advantages with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, but Indianapolis possesses enough talent to make Jesse Minter's debut uncomfortable if the Ravens fail to establish control early.

A source claims that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have one major priority as they begin a new chapter in the UK. This comes as the Duke and ***** ss of Sussex are focused on helping their kids adjust to life in Britain.

They apparently want to "avoid being spotted" while getting the kids into a routine before school begins.
According to a source quoted by The Sun, "They are still unpacking at home and getting over the jet lag. They're buying school uniforms and trying to buy pencil cases without being spotted."
The insider added, "They wanted to come back, they're excited about being back and everything that's to come."

Juventus have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund full-back Daniel Svensson, as the Swede continues to impress at the German club and could be allowed to leave if the right offer arrives.
Juve had a busy summer transfer window, but in the final days, they were keen to sign a new left back and hoped they could push Juan Cabal out of the squad, as he was wanted by Atalanta. However, that move never happened because Cabal's transfer did not go through.
Despite Cabal remaining at Juve, the Bianconeri continue to keep an eye on potential options for the position. Svensson has now emerged as one of the players attracting their attention, with his performances for Borussia Dortmund making him an appealing target.
The Swede has continued to shine at BVB, and his form has understandably attracted interest from other clubs. Juventus are now considering whether he could be the right player to strengthen their options at left back, although any potential deal would require a significant financial commitment.

Borussia Dortmund "remain keen" on the prospect of bringing Jadon Sancho back to the club, according to a report from TEAMtalk.
The 26-year-old is still searching for a new club after leaving Manchester United and is free to join any team he wants despite the transfer window being closed, as he is currently a free agent.
Although Dortmund responded to Giannis Konstantelias' long-term injury by bringing in Ethan Nwaneri on loan from ******* nal on deadline day, the German club are still considering a move to bring Sancho back, if the report is to be believed.
It's also claimed that Sancho is in talks with at least two Premier League clubs, who have made fresh approaches for the England international in recent days.
Clubs from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the UAE are reportedly also monitoring Sancho's situation.

Franck Kessie was widely expected to move to Juventus this summer as a free agent, and he tried his best to make the transfer happen. The midfielder waited patiently for Juve to offload some players and make a move for him, believing the opportunity to join the Bianconeri was within reach.
It was a move that would have represented an exception for Juventus, as the club had previously decided against signing players who had had a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Kessie remains a top player, as he showed at the World Cup, and Juve were keen to add him to their squad during the transfer window.
Despite the interest from Juve, Kessie ultimately ended up at Atalanta. La Dea was his first club when he moved to Europe as a youngster, and he is happy to return to a familiar environment after his unsuccessful attempt to join the Bianconeri.
Kessie was reportedly close to a move to Juve before rejecting their approach. The Bianconeri had been expected to return with a better offer for his signature, but the midfielder was announced as a new Atalanta player before that could happen.

With Richard Hughes' move to Al-Hilal now confirmed, Liverpool are seeking a new sporting director for the fifth time since 2022.
Hughes joined Liverpool in the summer of 2024 and oversaw the appointments of Arne Slot then Andoni Iraola. He informed the club earlier this year that he wanted to pursue a new challenge in Saudi Arabia.
Mike Gordon, the president of Fenway Sports Group (FSG), is overseeing the process of finding Hughes' replacement, with Liverpool keen to make a swift appointment.
Liverpool will look at internal candidates, but have not ruled out the possibility of appointing someone from outside the club. There is a desire to have someone that is committed long term.
When the question of stability was put to Billy Hogan, Liverpool's CEO, this summer, he told BBC Sport: "I would send a message that we are in a very healthy place as a football club - the leadership from the ownership is in a very steady place and we're looking forward to the next season and the season ahead."

Chelsea are working on an early deal to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in a bid to avoid competition for the midfielder next summer.
Bournemouth turned down a £64m offer from Chelsea during the summer transfer window and made clear that any further approaches would be rejected. The Cherries had hoped to tie Scott down to a new deal, but talks so far have failed to find an agreement.
Chelsea are keen to capitalise and want to secure Scott's future ahead of next summer. TEAMtalk are reporting that the Blues are exploring whether a transfer could be agreed in advance of next summer, to avoid a bidding war with Premier League rivals. Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester United have all tracked Scott's progress at the Vitality Stadium.
Scott has emerged as one of the most promising midfielders in the Premier League at Bournemouth and is expected to make his England debut in the coming months, having trained with Thomas Tuchel's squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Chelsea are prepared to bide their time and wait for Scott next summer. Xabi Alonso has identified the midfielder as a primary target, as Chelsea look to replace Enzo Fernandez.

Manchester United are on course for a big three-point haul away from home, as they lead Everton by a goal-to-nil at Hill ****** inson Stadium.
Deadlocked at the halftime interval in what looked to be a fixture headed to full time without a definitive result for either side, it was the Red Devils who broke the deadlock with a sensational hit by Bryan Mbeumo.
After receiving from Kobbie Mainoo, the Cameroonian darted forward and slalomed his way through the Toffees defence before curling an effort into the bottom corner beyond Jordan Pickford.
With that, Mbeumo finally bagged his first Premier League goal against Everton on his staggering 22nd attempt.
A player who has hardly struggled to find the back of the net against big opponents on his day, Mbeumo will be keen to remain a vital cog in the wheel for Michael Carrick's men as Manchesrer United hope to push for major honours this season.

There's a new scholarship program for those interested in golf-course design and it's being started by one of the best in the game: Tom Doak.
According to a story in golfcoursearchitecture.net, the Doak Award will go out every two years to students who have showcased a commitment to a career in golf-course architecture.
"The purpose of the award is to further the education of promising young architects who have already demonstrated their dedication to a career in golf course design," Doak the publication. "It is really a write-your-own-award set-up, so that it's tailored to the gaps in each applicant's experience, whatever they think they are."
Doak has modeled this after the Dreer Award which he earned while at Cornell in the early 1980s. That award paid for him to travel and study golf courses. The Doak Award requires applicants to propose their own program of study and inlcude travel and educational pieces.
"I do expect travel to be an important part of the award, but I am keenly aware that it is much more expensive to see great courses today than when I spent nine months in the UK for about $10,000 in 1982," says Doak. "To that end, I am enlisting a bunch of my former clients to provide lodging and food in key locations, and asking fellow architects to host a student for a day or two if travelling to their part of the country."
