The Federal Reserve signaled Wednesday that
they're done raising interest rates and could even cut them in 2024. However,
despite the good news just in time for the holidays, Americans are still
feeling the effects of inflation, with the cost of many everyday items
significantly higher than just a few years ago. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at
Moody's Analytics, discusses the state of the economy, why prices for some
services and items will never decline, and the likelihood of the U.S. entering
a recession next year.
As online shopping becomes more popular around
the holidays, scammers are developing smarter and sneakier ways to steal your
information. If you're looking to buy gifts for family and friends, donate to
charities, or even adopt a furry friend this holiday season, knowing how to
ensure that you're using reliable sources and keeping your information
protected is crucial. On the Rundown, Director of PR and Social Media at the
Better Business Bureau Melanie McGovern discusses the most popular scams to
look out for when scrolling on social media or ordering online and how to tell
if the charity you're donating to is authentic.
