December Economist Snapshot: Will strong U.S. retail sales fuel investor interest?
Consumers have kept a steady foot on the gas this year. A record-high 197 million consumers shopped in stores or online over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF). The NRF forecasts that holiday sales will grow between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent, with total retail spending in the United States falling between $979.5 billion and $989 billion during November and December. That forecast also is consistent with NRF’s annual U.S. sales growth—between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent—for 2024.

September 2024 Economist Snapshot: Fed rate cuts bring limited relief to the U.S. housing affordability crisis
Affordability and low inventory are continuing to create pain points for the housing market. According to newly released data from the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), pending home sales are at their lowest level since the Great Financial Crisis. Existing-home sales for August dropped 4.2 percent from a year ago to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.86 million. Although the Fed has kicked off its rate-cutting cycle with a 50-basis-point reduction at its September 18 meeting, high interest rates are still a big hurdle for homebuyers and housing developers.
