One goal of the Federal Reserve’s efforts to rein in inflation is to get the housing market “back into balance between supply and demand,” according to Fed Chair Jay Powell. The problem? The central bank’s main inflation-fighting lever largely improves one side of the supply-and-demand equation, while potentially hurting the other. That means the short-term moves to get home price growth under control could exacerbate the years-long trend of too few homes for sale dating back even before… Source link

Microstrategy founder and bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor had some strong words about fallen FTX founder and one-time billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). “I think this [crypto] crash accelerates regulatory intervention,” Saylor said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “I mean, in fact, in a sense, SBF is like the Jordan Belfort of the crypto era.
