Inflation Eases, But Some High Prices Are Here To Stay

The Federal Reserve signaled Wednesday that they're done raising interest rates and could even cut them in 2024. However, despite the good news just in time for the holidays, Americans are still feeling the effects of inflation, with the cost of many everyday items significantly higher than just a few years ago. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics, discusses the state of the economy, why prices for some services and items will never decline, and the likelihood of the U.S. entering a recession next year.

If you're looking to buy gifts for family and friends, donate to charities, or even adopt a furry friend this holiday season, knowing how to ensure that you're using reliable sources and keeping your information protected is crucial. On the Rundown, Director of PR and Social Media at the Better Business Bureau Melanie McGovern discusses the most popular scams to look out for when scrolling on social media or ordering online and how to tell if the charity you're donating to is authentic.
