Wall Street experiences its ‘worst day’ in two-years

U.S. President Joe Biden addressed hundreds who gathered in the Rose Garden at the White House to celebrate last month’s passage of the ‘Inflation Reduction Act.’

The event was actually held on the same day a new government report—the “Consumer Price Index”—was released which showed extremely disappointing numbers.

The report revealed how difficult it will be to bring surging prices down back to near pre-pandemic levels.

Simultaneously, a wide-ranging sell-off on Wall Street sent U.S. stocks reeling on Tuesday afternoon.

The move came following the highly anticipated and hotter-than-expected CPI inflation report.

According to the report from August, core CPI increased more than expected, rising to 6.3%, up from 5.9% back in July.

Now, financial markets are pricing in an interest rate hike of at least 75 basis points—or a possible 1% point increase at the conclusion of the FOMC’s policy meeting next week.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
