  • U.S. consumer spending, underlying inflation slow in May

    U.S. consumer spending rose less than expected in May as motor vehicles remained scarce while higher prices forced cutbacks on purchases of other goods, another sign that the rebound in economic growth early in the second quarter was losing steam. Though the report from the Commerce Department on Thursday suggested inflation had probably peaked, price pressures remained strong enough to keep the Federal Reserve on its aggressive monetary policy tightening path. Rising interest rates and tight financial conditions are stoking fears of a recession, but economic data so far point to moderate growth.

    In an effort to improve Americans’ retirement security, Congress is working on the Secure Act 2.0 – but there’s more it can do, experts say. The House passed the Securing a Strong Retirement Act, and two Senate committees advanced their own legislative proposals focused on retirement savings – one from the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee called the RISE & SHINE Act, and another from the Finance Committee called the EARN Act. Although it’s not yet clear how Congress will mesh these proposals into one, experts expect these ideas will come together to become the Secure Act 2.0.

  • State budget suggests Chatham-Siler City megasite vying for $4.8 billion computer chip factory

    A part of the state budget agreement among North Carolina legislators announced Tuesday suggests a computer chip maker may be considering northern Chatham County for a factory that could surpass the record set only three months ago by the VinFast electric-vehicle plant as the state’s biggest-ever one-site economic development project. The provision appropriates $112.5 million to the Department of Commerce for a project involving an unidentified business that would make computer chips and invest $4.8 billion in private funds and create at least 1,800 jobs in Chatham County. The $4.8 billion would surpass the $4 billion electric vehicle maker VinFast is set to invest in its plant announced in late March for the other megasite in Chatham County, the Triangle Innovation Point, formerly known as the Moncure Megasite.
