The Business News Headlines 17 September 2024

We'll kick this off today thanking YOU.  Yes, you the consumer continued to consume in August which is odd because on one hand folks are complaining about prices yet they keep buying. Oh...and there is another reason and we'll share that first. Meanwhile,  if you want to reach out to us on social media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• Consumers consuming and one reason they have;
• We are all on Fed Watch and what will they do?
• Teens signing up for Instagram will notice a change
• An airline merger moves forward with provisions;
• The University of Tennessee is imposing a 10% fee and why;
• Guns, Guards and the Boeing Strike;
• Stock buy-backs are still the rage.  Check Microsoft;
• The Wall Street Report
• And were not doing well: Women and parity.

Thanks for listening!
