1. Harvey hits: U.S. gasoline futures spiked 7% Sunday night after the storm ravaging the Gulf Coast forced the shutdown of at least 10 refineries near Houston and Corpus Christi. Gasoline futures, which reflect wholesale prices charged to gas stations, are now at their highest level since July 2015. Analysts said it often takes about a week for such price swings to trickle down to drivers filling up at the pump.
