It's still likely the Fed will issue its first rate cut this June, Citi economist Veronica Clark said. That's because central bankers will need to support a weakening labor market, Clark told Yahoo Finance. AdvertisementThe Federal Reserve is still likely to cut rates in June in order to prop up the labor market amid a slowdown in hiring, according to Citi economist Veronica Clark. "We have a base case for June still," Clark said of rate cuts, though she noted a July Fed rate cut was also possible. Markets are now pricing in just one or two cuts by December, according to the CME FedWatch tool, down from as many as seven rate cuts projected at the start of 2024.

The Fed could cut rates five times in 2025, according to S&P Global Ratings' global chief economist. A slowing US economy will give the Fed the green light to cut, the firm predicted.

That’s because some Federal Reserve officials are reconsidering forecasts they made three months ago that called for three rate cuts this year. The stakes are high because there are consequences if the Fed cuts rates soon or if it leaves rates where they’ve been for the past eight months. First rate cut hinges on inflation dataIn February, Bostic told CNN that the first rate cut could come “sometime in the summertime.” That’s also Wall Street’s current expectation. He hasn’t specified — and is unlikely to signal — the number of rate cuts he believes are appropriate for this year. He has cheered inflation’s descent and said further improvement could open the door to rate cuts — if that actually bears out.

Read previewJapanese and Korean carmakers cracked the US market long ago — but don't expect Chinese EV seller BYD to repeat that feat. Advertisement"It'd be very difficult for a Chinese EV maker to enter the US market," Seth Goldstein, an equity strategist at Morningstar, told Business Insider. The bill, a key part of US President Joe Biden's economic agenda, offers tax credits worth up to $7,500 for EV makers, excluding any "Foreign Entity of Concern." BYD isn't the only company turning its back on the US EV market. Given that EV sales growth is stalling in US, it's perhaps little wonder companies like BYD are not too bothered.

BYD, the world's top-selling EV seller, has launched a cheaper version of its Yuan Plus car. Rivals such as Xpeng and Tesla have also initiated price drops and incentives to entice buyersIt comes as EV sales have dropped in China. The price cut, which comes amid an accelerating EV price war and slowing sales in the world's biggest car market, was first reported by Reuters. As well as cornering the affordable EV market, it's also dabbling in the other end of the market with a $233,000 electric supercar. As a result, Shenzhen-based BYD is "not planning to come to the US," BYD Americas CEO Stella Li told Yahoo Finance last week.

A soft landing would greatly boost small caps since they're economically sensitive, meaning they tend to thrive in expansions and fall during contractions. Marcelli also made note of smaller companies' weaker balance sheets, though those are arguably accounted for in valuations. With that said, those positive forces appear to be intact, so small caps could finally break out. Instead of selling AI chips or products, smaller companies can enhance their productivity by using the technology, the strategy chief said. 5 sectors where small caps can thriveWithin small caps, Temple said he's less focused on what sector a company falls into and more concerned with whether that firm is financially healthy.

Read previewSky-high house prices and mortgage rates have dashed many Americans' dreams of owning their own home, the chief economist of Moody's Analytics says. Meanwhile, 30-year mortgage rates have surged from historic lows of 2.5% during the pandemic to nearly 7%, Zandi noted. The so-called affordability crisis has been fueled by the lock-in effect, where homeowners on cheap mortgage rates don't want to lose it by selling. Indeed, sales volumes of existing homes slumped by 17% between February and December last year, from 4.6 million units to below 3.8 million, per the St. Louis Fed. Zandi has previously warned that several things need to happen for sales volumes to return to normal levels.

And these short sellers pile up on top of each other with their biased opinions," Capablanca said. But because of the increased number of short sellers, a stock can blow past that and remain elevated over multiple days. So even if the market seems dead, nothing is there to trade, they will force a trade," Capablanca said. This rule helped him avoid Vivos Therapeutics (VVOS), a stock that many short sellers he knew tried to short. Such an outcome could lead to a continued elevated price, driving short sellers out for weeks, he said.

Read previewThe housing market is about to exit its slowdown and take off in a new growth period, according to National Association of Home Builders CEO Jim Tobin. AdvertisementThat's partly because mortgage rates have continued their steady decline in recent months. At the same time, prospective buyers are likely warming up to the new norm of 6% mortgage rates, and could be readying themselves to jump back into the housing market, he said. "I think that the world is getting ready to realize that we're no longer going back to those 3%-4% mortgage rates. Improving affordability conditions could cause home sales to jump 5% while home prices decline 1% in 2024, according to Redfin.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin state Senate is poised to approve a plan to spend more than half a billion dollars of public funds to help the Milwaukee Brewers repair their stadium over the next three decades. The Senate is expected to vote on the proposal during a floor session set to begin Tuesday morning. As of last week, Republican Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu was still trying to lock down enough votes to push the package. Brewer officials initially said the team might leave Milwaukee if they didn't get public dollars to help with the repairs. The Assembly last month approved a plan that calls for the state to contribute $411.5 million and the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County to contribute a combined $135 million.
