Every supermarket has a premium range, but there's only one number one from Waitrose,

with products like the No. 1 Wagu Topside seasoned roasting joint, naturally marbled and meltingly tender.

Or the number one sticky cinnamon bun pudding?

Buttery, rich and perfectly spiced.

And the number one smoked silver fox cheddar, 18-month matured, oaky and creamy. Food worth

getting the fancy plates out for. Waitrose, the home of food lovers. Selected stores subject to

availability. Here's your closing bell brief for Tuesday, October 7th. I'm Catherine Sullivan for the Wall Street Journal.

U.S. stocks fell today, while gold prices continued to climb. The precious metal topped $4,000 a

Elsewhere, President Trump held trade talks with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is seeking

Oracle shares dropped 2.5% on a recent news report that the company lost $100 million last quarter

renting a popular chip from Nvidia. And shares in McCormick slipped 4% after the Spicemaker

said higher costs have eaten into its bottom line. Heads up, an artificial intelligence tool

helped us make this episode by creating summaries that were based on

WSJ reporting and then reviewed and adapted by an editor. We'll have a lot more coverage of the day's

news on the WSJ's What's News podcast. You can add it to your playlist on your smart speaker
