What happened

Key facts

• Ten years ago, it would have been inconceivable for a Fortune 500 firm and a mom-and-pop to share a ghostwriter.
• Reported by Fortune and published Tue, 06 Oct 2026 11:30:00 UTC.

What to watch next

• How rate expectations and index futures respond
• Guidance or commentary from the companies and policymakers involved
