What is the Fed expected to do on Wednesday?
According to a recent report from CNBC, there’s virtually no chance the Federal Reserve will choose to raise its benchmark borrowing rates today. So, what will the Fed do on Wednesday? First, the Fed will likely announce a pause in interest rate hikes. Second, the Fed will provide a quarterly update on several key economic indicators. Interest rates, gross domestic product, inflation and unemployment will be areas of focus.
There’s also widespread belief among experts and Fed watchers that they will take a tone that indicates there shouldn’t be assumptions about what happens next. How the market reacts often depends on the tone Chairman Jerome Powell takes during his press conference. If he comes across as hawkish, the market may sell. If he’s overly dove-ish, it may come across as a time to buy.
How did St. Paul, MN turn a golf course into housing?
A development project called ‘The Heights’ has broken ground on the east side of St. Paul, MN. The project aims to provide over 1,000 living wage jobs and provide 1,000 attainable, affordable housing units. Oh, and the 112 acres the project is being built on? It used to be a golf course contaminated with mercury.
The land has been cleaned and even attained a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. It’s completely safe to build there, and the area is planned to provide affordable town homes, single-family homes, apartments, and senior housing. Every home will have solar panels and there are plans to include EV charging stations.
The project is expected to be in the works for the next five years, but it may be worth keeping an eye on if you think you’re going to be in the market in the next few years.
