San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said Thursday that she sees the case for quickly moving to raise interest rates this year as inflation remains high. “I like to think of it as expeditiously marching towards neutral. It’s clear the economy doesn’t need the accommodation we’re providing,” Daly told Yahoo Finance in an exclusive interview Thursday. The Fed hopes that raising borrowing costs will dampen the consumption and spending that has pushed prices higher. The central banker told Yahoo… Source link

The years-long hot housing market has shown signs of cooling off. Mortgage rates over a weeklong period earlier this month topped 4% for the first time in three years — and the rise will likely continue as the Federal Reserve pursues a series of interest rate hikes this year. But persistent inflation and rising interest rates shouldn’t scare off homebuyers, real estate guru and “Shark Tank” panelist Barbara Corcoran told Yahoo Finance. Instead, aspiring homeowners should jump into the market… Source link

Several large online publishers are taking steps to abandon a program from Alphabet Inc.’s Google that was billed as a way to optimize readers’ mobile-browsing experience, saying it generates less advertising revenue. Companies including Vox Media LLC, BuzzFeed Inc.’s Complex Networks and Bustle parent BDG said they have started testing or are considering using their own versions of mobile-optimized article pages, instead of building them using the Accelerated… Source link

Russia’s attack on Ukraine is fueling geopolitical risk that may push the Federal Reserve away from a more aggressive interest rate increase in March. Fed officials, who are still eager to begin the process of paring back pandemic-era easy money policies, say they are monitoring any spillover effects of the conflict onto U.S. economic activity. “These create a lot of uncertainty and uncertainty, as we know, is a demand shock,” San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly told reporters on Feb….

The Olympics have a men’s hockey problem. It isn’t very good. That is said with all due respect to the former NHLers, career Euro leaguers and college kids who play as hard and as well as they possibly can to represent their countries. This isn’t even their fault. Part of the low quality of play stems from the fact these guys were thrown together on makeshift teams, given about three practices and told to hit the global stage. The IOC, true to its well-established arrogance, has always taken the… Source link

Nigeria is looking to Europe for funding to complete infrastructure projects such as railways, with a senior official in the West African nation saying Chinese loans are drying up. Analysts say Nigeria’s situation reflects a broader Chinese move away from funding these expensive projects in Africa, where China has provided hundreds of billions of dollars in loans to develop infrastructure as part of its Belt and Road Initiative. Last weekend, Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi told Nigerian… Source link

A top Wall Street analyst thinks Apple’s stock (AAPL) is at risk of an earnings day sell-off, which would ultimately be a buying opportunity.  “Apple shares are up 19% since the October 4 low (vs. 5% for the S&P 500) suggesting December quarter upside is largely priced in,” warned Morgan Stanley tech analyst Katy Huberty in a new research note Thursday. Huberty expects Apple to report a better than expected quarter on Jan. 27, and guide to a relatively in line March quarter.  If the stock… Source link

Because Google could access data in plain text, the data wasn’t protected from potential surveillance, the body’s decision says. “This transfer was found to be unlawful because there was no adequate level of protection for the personal data transferred,” says Matthias Schmidl, the deputy head of the Austrian data regulator. He adds that website operators cannot use Google Analytics and be in line with GDPR. At the moment, the decision applies only in Austria and isn’t final…. Source link

And this is just the beginning. When noyb filed the complaint against NetDoktor in August 2020, it also filed 100 other cases with other data protection authorities across Europe. “It’s not specific to Google Analytics. It’s basically about outsourcing to US providers in general,” Schrems says. Regulators in 30 European countries are currently investigating the other cases, which cover both the use of Google Analytics and Facebook Connect, the company’s tool to link your account to… Source link
