NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is edging lower Tuesday as the U.S. government creeps closer to the edge of a potentially disastrous default on its debt.The S&P 500 was 0.2% lower in its first trading after President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy closed a meeting late Monday that they called productive but ultimately ended with no deal.The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 3 points, or less than 0.1%, at 33,283, as of 11:43 a.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% lower.Washington is facing a deadline as early as June 1, when the U.S. government could run out of cash to pay its bills unless Congress allows it to borrow more.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:38 GMT

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Graham Rahal will get a chance to keep his Indianapolis 500 start streak intact after all, replacing the injured Stefan Wilson on Tuesday in the Dreyer & Reinbold entry after failing to qualify for the race with his own team.Wilson was hospitalized with a fractured vertebra following a crash in practice Monday. He was ruled out of the race, and that left car owners Dennis Reinbold and Don Cusick scrambling for a replacement less than a week before Sunday’s green flag.Rahal was their first choice, but he’d spent his career tied to Honda, which powers the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team. Dreyer & Reinbold runs engines from rival Chevrolet, and Rahal initially told DRR that any discussions were a waste of time because of his Honda relationship. He told the team to call his dad, 1986 Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal, and see if there was a path forward.Sunday’s race will mark the first time in Rahal’s 17 seasons as a professional he will compe...
