Happy Tuesday. This is the first day Canada’s reciprocal tariffs took effect. President Donald Trump now says Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier cannot sell in the United States unless it moves production there.
It’s been a mixed week for Wall Street, with stock futures lower this morning.
Here are five important things investors need to know to start their trading day.
1. Slow start

Wall Street is trying to make up for lost time yesterday after markets closed for Labor Day. Stock futures got off to a shaky start to the shortened trading week, with oil prices hitting multi-week highs amid escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Here’s what you need to know:
2. Depart

Yesterday, gas prices set a new US Labor Day record. The national average was $4.15 per gallon, AAA said, exceeding $4 for the first time over the holidays.
As CNBC’s Sara Agostino reports, this number is well above the Labor Day peak recorded in 2012. Labor Day is a popular time for road trips, so American travelers may be spending more than usual.
Still, value-minded vacationers don’t seem to be retreating in an era of high prices. At the other end of the spectrum, the era of “fallation” has just begun for the wealthy.
3. Jet plane crash
On September 6, 2026, an Amazon cargo plane overshot the runway and crashed at Miami International Airport (MIA) in Miami, Florida. A Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air as Prime Air Flight 7598 overshot the runway and burst into flames on Sunday, killing at least five people and closing the airport’s runway.

The plane flew approximately 1,300 feet over the runway and struck vehicles both inside and outside the airport’s perimeter. National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said the scene was one of “complete devastation” with “debris everywhere.”
Homendy said investigators will be on the scene for at least a week and expects more details to be released today. Investigators recovered a flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, she said.
4. Feeling tired

Anthropology, OpenAI, Meta and google Last week, we rolled out all the model updates related to artificial intelligence.
As CNBC’s Jonathan Bunyan reports, technology companies are increasing the pace of innovation to stay at the forefront of AI. But there are also concerns about “model fatigue,” as Runpod CEO Zhen Lu puts it.
Meanwhile, the AI boom continues to drive up prices for rural land that developers are eyeing for data center sites. As CNBC’s Tobias Burns writes, this has sparked a backlash from some local residents.
5. ISO: CISO

AI is raising the bar for security leaders. As CNBC’s Samantha Subin reports, the role of the chief information security officer is in the spotlight.
The age of AI requires more than just cybersecurity expertise or experience with government and compliance issues. CISOs manage the security of in-house AI agents and prevent sensitive data from leaking.
The CISO job market is hot for the right candidate as companies seek to stay ahead of growing cybersecurity threats. As the environment changes, security leaders now have more board meetings and conversations with CEOs.
