This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. There will be no rest days in baseball Wednesday with all 30 teams in action.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised interest rates by 0.75%, the largest move it has made in a single meeting since 1994. The central bank messaged that further interest rate hikes will come this year, as the Fed leans on higher borrowing costs to dampen demand and work to slow faster-than-expected inflation. “Overall economic activity appears to have picked up after edging down in the first quarter,” the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement, repeating its… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. Here we go! We’ve got two teams left vying for the Stanley Cup. The Avalanche are hosting the Lightning in Game 1. Colorado may have home-ice advantage, but the Lightning are in their third straight final. Both teams have a key player questionable in Nazem Kadri and Brayden Point. As such, neither of them are in my single-game stack. You have $135 for five players. Your superstar earns you 1.5 times the points. Let’s get to it!

As big name investors such as Bill Ackman and Jeff Gundlach clamor for the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates by 100 basis points or more, one top strategist thinks observers should really think through what they are calling for. “Be careful what you wish for,” 22V Research Founder Dennis DeBusschere on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “You want to take it to an extreme. Let’s go 100 basis points, 200 basis points, or 400 basis points. Let’s crush the economy. I don’t think that would be… Source link

Taking on a tough course this week at The Country Club, only the top 60 and ties will advance through the 36-hole cutline. That makes it one of the toughest cuts to make all season. For DFS purposes it means you may want to spread out your exposure a little more than usual if you’re making multiple lineups. Unless, of course you have a high-risk tolerance. It’s always a case-by-case basis but no name is safe when roughly 60% of the field will be packing their bags early. For the course, we know… Source link

First came HAL-9000 and The Terminator. Now, Google’s LaMDA chatbot? Last week, Google suspended an engineer for breaching the company’s confidentiality policy, after he publicly revealed his conviction that the search giant’s AI chatbot LaMDA had achieved sentience. It opened the door for plenty of jokes — and nervous laughter — about the deadly sentient computers that have been part of popular culture for decades, from “2001: A Space Odyssey” to “The Terminator.” But you don’t have to… Source link

Apple (AAPL) announced an exclusive global media partnership with Major League Soccer (MLS) on Tuesday and according to one Wall Street analyst, the deal is “just the appetizer” for the tech giant. “They’re doubling down on live sports content, and that’s a big strategy for Cupertino on the content front,” Wedbush Securities Managing Director Dan Ives told Yahoo Finance, referring to Apple’s headquarters in California. “MLB, now MLS, that’s just the start of what we see as much more… Source link

Google is simplifying Search Console reports so you can focus more on issues that affect how your website appears in search results. The upcoming changes will affect the ‘warning‘ label for URLs and items. There’s confusion around whether this status means a page or item can’t appear in Google. To alleviate that confusion, top-level items will be labeled as either valid or invalid. ‘Valid’ refers pages or items without critical issues, while ‘invalid’ to pages or items with… Source link

The S&P 500 plunged into a bear market earlier this week for the first time since March 2020, sending many investors into a tizzy. According to one financial advisor, however, the sell-off could present a buying opportunity — particularly in bank and energy stocks and companies like Verizon. “I think any of those old-school value names right now are great to have in your portfolio,” Payne Capital Management President Ryan Payne said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “And don’t… Source link
