At this week’s FOMC meeting, it’s likely Fed governors will hike
interest rates. They won’t be alone. The EU raised rates last

meeting. These central bankers are all dealing with similar

Also in this episode: The U.S. dollar rises in anticipation of a
rate hike, diesel prices break records, the
subscription-BNPL-rental economy reduces how much we really own.
