Amazon is attempting new measures to get customers to return fewer of their online orders, including charging a fee to return items to UPS stores. For decades, Amazon built its business by creating shopping that was fast, ridiculously easy and, seemingly, error-proof. You don’t like it, just return it. But not anymore: so many customers have buyers’ regret, or simply bigger feet than they thought they had, that handling returns has become an expensive problem for the company. So, Amazon will start charging customers a $1 fee if they return items to a UPS store when there is a Whole…

While the latest inflation report might have shown welcome signs of inflation continuing to cool, one supermarket and oil CEO told Americans to prepare for the exact opposite. “Prices are going up. Gasoline is going up. Everything is going up. So I’m not a historian, I am a person that deals with it every day,” Red Apple Group and United Refining Company Chairman and CEO John Catsimatidis said on a “Mornings with Maria” panel Wednesday. “And we have to worry about: what [is the Fed] going to do?”The Labor Department said Wednesday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of…

“Risk” is a something of a loaded word, having a somewhat negative implication. Most people only focus on the downside risk, and when we hear about “risky” investments it is typically in reference to penny stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other speculative instruments. The accepted meaning of “risk” in financial jargon, however, is typically to convey standard deviation, which encompasses both potential underperformance and outperformance relative to a mean expectation for investment return. After all, risk can lead to both losses and gains, otherwise no reasonable investor would ever take on any risk. If you are even casually familiar with the Capital…

Markets expect the Federal Reserve to hike rates 0.25-percentage-points at their upcoming May 3 interest rate decision. There’s a 7 in 10 chance of a hike according to fixed income futures, with a 3 in 10 chance of holding rates steady. That’s because with March’s economic data, as reported in April, inflation continues to run hot, compared to the Fed’s target, and recent unemployment numbers don’t imply a recession, despite some potential softness. That said, inflation is moving closer to the Fed’s goal, just at a slower pace than the Fed wants to see. Hawkish Fed Minutes The Fed have…

By Herbert Lash NEW YORK (Reuters) – Treasury yields fell and a gauge of global stocks eased on Wednesday after the market was rattled by minutes from the Federal Reserve’s last policy meeting that indicated banking sector stress could tip the economy into a recession. Fed staff assessing the potential fallout of banking stress projected a “mild recession” later this year.
