(New York, NY) -- The opening bell rings this morning after Wall Street closed the week out sharply higher on Friday. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 868 points to 49-447. The S&P 500 rose 84 points, closing above 71-hundred for the first time at 71-26.

>>Tariff Refund Portal Opening
(Washington, DC) -- The Trump administration's tariff refund system is set to launch. Starting today, American importers will be able to access a portal used to issue refunds from the 166-billion-dollars that was paid by companies. The Supreme Court struck down those tariffs in February, ruling President Trump illegally side-stepped Congress when he enacted them. Consumers who paid higher costs on an imported product are not eligible for a tariff refund under this system, but individual companies may be issuing refunds in the future.
>>Spirit Airlines Liquidation Possible
(Miramar, FL) -- Spirit Airlines is on the brink of total liquidation as its bankruptcy restructuring hits a wall. Sky-high fuel costs fueled by the conflict in the Middle East are largely to blame. Lenders are reportedly pulling support, and the airline is already cutting dozens of routes and furloughing hundreds of crew members. Spirit says it's still flying for now, but experts warn of sudden 'overnight' cancellations. If you're booked, check your flight status before heading to the airport.
>>Blue Origin Puts Satellite In Wrong Orbit
(Cape Canaveral, FL) -- Blue Origin had a successful launch yesterday as its New Glenn rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. However, it was carrying a commercial communications satellite that it put into the wrong orbit, making it unusable. It was the third launch for the New Glenn rocket and the first to reuse the rocket's first stage. The now-useless satellite was the largest civilian antenna ever put in orbit. No word on how much it cost but the company behind it said it's fully insured.
