The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates Wednesday by a half percentage point, slowing down its pace of rate hikes from this summer’s torrid clip. The rate hike brings the Fed’s benchmark policy rate, the federal funds rate, to a new range of 4.25%-4.5%, the highest level since December 2007. Wednesday’s 50 basis point rate hike comes after the Fed raised rates by 75 basis points at each of the past four policy meetings — its most aggressive stretch since the 1980s. “Recent… Source link

The San Francisco 49ers have boasted one of the NFL’s top rushing units almost every year since Kyle Shanahan took over as head coach in 2017. Over the past four seasons, the 49ers ranked top-15 in rushing attempts and rushing yards, and they ranked top-seven in both categories in the two seasons San Francisco made deep postseason runs (2019 and 2021). And up until they traded for Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers had accomplished all of their rushing success with relatively unknown talent. The… Source link

Albert Pujols is leaving Busch Stadium in the best way possible. The longtime St. Louis Cardinals star, in his final regular-season home game before retirement, drilled a home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon.

The ball went 409 feet and brought Pujols to 2,214 career RBIs — which ties him with Babe Ruth for second on the league’s all-time… Source link

Three seasons ago, the Miami Heat got all the way to the NBA Finals, coming within two games of taking home the fourth championship in franchise history, albeit in the COVID-19-related bubble in Orlando. Then, last year, they were within one game – and arguably one three-point attempt by star forward Jimmy Butler – from reaching the Finals again. Now, the team will look to take that final step and win a championship while Butler remains in his prime. The question is: Do they have enough… Source link

The 2022 US Open men’s singles final is set. It will be a showcase of tennis’ future.

Serena Williams isn’t expected to win the 2022 US Open, but she’s the main story at the event. Williams announced the tournament would be her final one as a professional. Once she wins or gets eliminated from the event, she plans to retire. Once that happens, it will mark the end of a career for the best player of her era, as well as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. It’s impossible to overstate Williams’ contributions to the game. She’s won 23 Grand Slam tournaments, the most… Source link
