Me and my best friend can communicate with just facial expressions.

How come iPhone chargers are not called apple juice?

Tried to do a cartwheel the other day, thinking it was like riding a bike. It’s not.

I followed a diet but it didn’t follow me back, so I unfollowed it.

 

Now The Market Report . . .

 

Consumer borrowing was up $23.3 billion in July, the biggest monthly gain since Nov. 2017. The increase pushed total consumer credit to a record $4.1 trillion.

Despite forecasts of a looming recession for 2020, economic data and the labor market continue to show strength.

The Fed will meet next week. Last month’s meeting produced the first policy rate cut in 10 years, and speculation continues now for a second.

 

Mortgage applications to purchase a home increased 5% last week and were 9% higher than the same week a year ago. Total application volume rose 2%.

Inventories grew tighter in August, strengthening competition in the market. However, median listing prices saw their largest July-to-August drop since 2012.

The Treasury released a plan last week to recapitalize mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and to release them from government conservatorship.
