Most U.S. stocks rose after Coca-Cola and other companies reported stronger profits for the spring than analysts expected. But more drops for chip stocks and other AI winners kept Wall Street's gains in check Tuesday, and the S&P 500 rose a relatively modest 0.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1%, while the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.2%. The slides for AI stocks were worse elsewhere in the world, and South Korea's Kospi index tumbled nearly 11%. Oil prices continued to ease, which helped to pull Treasury yields lower in the bond market. Brent crude fell toward $82 per barrel.

It is something to think about as gas prices stay elevated throughout the summer months and add pain to day-to-day driving and seasonal road tripping. Instead, abiding by posted speed limits can save U.S. drivers millions of dollars at the gas pump and eliminate millions of gallons of fuel each day, according to a study published Thursday in the Nature journal Communications Sustainability. That is fuel that, when burned, emits planet-warming gases into the atmosphere.

World Sailing is working with Marine Futures. The London-based sustainability consultancy is collecting data from boat builders about their production operations. It's also surveying athletes about their equipment use and travel. The goal is to capture the environmental impact of a four-year campaign for the Olympics.
