#inflation #consumer #consumerspending #yahoofinance #fed The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, the PCE Index, showed inflation continued to cool in November. But that doesn’t mean Americans are feeling a tremendous amount of relief when they go to the store. As Economic Cycle Research Institute Co-Founder Lakshman Achuthan explains “the rate of inflation is coming down, but it doesn’t mean that prices levels have come down… They went up and they’re just not rising as fast, they’re rising slower.” Overall, Acuthan says that discretionary spending is softening, while non-discretionary spending, such as education and healthcare, remains “solid.” Watch the video above to hear what Acuthan says about what the cooling inflation […]
In this episode of Yahoo Finance series NEXT, Yahoo Finance reporter Akiko Fujita visits San Francisco startup Zipline to get a first-hand look at how delivery services are being automated with drones.

As optimism grows for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve a spot bitcoin ETF (BTC-USD), Coinbase (COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong sits down with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to discuss his 2024 outlook, calling crypto “”the future of money.”” Despite regulatory headwinds, Armstrong notes crypto’s resilience, with prices up 90% year-to-date. However, he says the “”unclear rulebook”” so far features “”a lot of unanswered questions,”” causing “”consumer harm”” in the absence of clear-cut regulation. With Congress and courts left to navigate standards, Armstrong views crypto oversight in the US as being “”behind”” that of other countries. Nonetheless, Armstrong remains bullish on further adoption driving crypto’s staying power. […]
Despite upbeat consumer confidence data, Wells Fargo Head of Advice & Planning Michael Liersch cautions that uncertainty persists entering 2024 surrounding financial planning. He notes there to be “optimism for the future, [while] also preparing for the worst.” With the new year following a typically expensive holiday stretch, Liersch tells Yahoo Finance that consumers should consider what spending levels they feel like they can “sustainably afford to spend” rather than overextending. As people often overspend on gifts at the cost of financial goals, Liersch suggests tempering discretionary purchases in 2024 to promote stability. #youtube #stockmarket #stocks About Yahoo Finance: Yahoo Finance provides free stock ticker data, up-to-date news, portfolio management […]
EV charging infrastructure remains a core focus in major pushes for electric vehicle adoption.

Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) CEO and President Matt Petersen joins Yahoo Finance Live anchor Rachelle Akuffo to give his take on what is holding the East Coast back in EV adoption — and what could change that. Petersen says to expect an “acceleration of charging infrastructure installation” due to the implementation of public-private partnerships and federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure […]
