Joseph Lavorgna, chief economist at SMBC Nikko Securities, wrote that recent inflation and labor cost data cast doubt on the wisdom of the Federal Reserve's rate cut today. He pointed to data released today showing that unit labor costs rose 3.4% in the last four quarters to September, while core services inflation rose 4.4% year-over-year in the third quarter, well above the Fed's headline inflation target of 2%.

In their latest lawsuit, filed in federal court in Tennessee on October 10, the Jarrett couple argued that the tokens they created by pledging should be treated as property and subject to taxation only when sold, and not before then.
