Agenda posted August 29, 2023

 

The Federal Reserve is likely to announce an interest rate cut today. While investors anticipate the third rate cut in a row, they'll be even more focused on what fed chair Jerome Powell says in his comments following the announcement. Powell could indicate this could be the last expected cut for now, citing current market and inflation conditions.        More snow is expected from North Dakota to Maine through Friday. Up to five inches may be seen from Northern Minnesota to parts of New England. Higher totals of snow may fall around Lake Michigan and Lake Ontario. Meanwhile, blizzard warnings are in place from today until late tomorrow morning in areas of West Virginia and Maryland.        Authorities have indentified the suspect in the deadly shooting on the Kentucky State University campus yesterday. Frankfort police say Jacob Lee Bard, of Evansville, Indiana, has been arrested on murder and first-degree assault charges. Investigators believe Bard is the person who shot two students in the South Campus area shortly after 3 p.m. local time, killing one victim and critically injuring the other.        The next mayor of Miami is set to make history. Eileen Higgins won yesterday's runoff with 59 percent of the vote over Emiliano Gonzalez. Higgins will become the city's first female mayor.        The House is planning to vote on a defense policy bill today. The National Defense Authorization Act advanced out of the House Rules Committee yesterday on party lines. While the bill typically passes on a bipartisan vote, there is some uncertainty after this year's bill was unveiled Sunday.        The NFL is returning to Munich next season. The league announced a multi-year agreement with the German city and FC Bayern Munich that also includes a game in 2028. FV Bayern Munich Stadium previously hosted NFL games in 2022 and 2024.
