  • UPDATE 1-PG&E beats quarterly profit view, eyes electricity demand growth

    Power company PG&E Corp beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter profit and raised its full-year earnings forecast on Thursday, helped by higher electricity rates and lower operating and wildfire-related costs. Last year, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted to approve PG&E's infrastructure plan that would lead customer bills to rise by nearly 13%. In January, the CPUC also approved a $45 million settlement for the utility's part in the destructive 2021 Dixie wildfire, which in 2021 resulted in more than 963,000 acres (390,000 hectares) being burned across multiple counties.

  • Bond Yields Have Jumped. Treasuries Look Like Plain Old Buys.

    It’s time to buy Treasury bonds again. Driving the yield higher has been stubbornly high inflation that has made it increasingly clear that the Federal Reserve won’t soon start reversing the 11 interest-rate increases it has rolled out since March 2022 as it seeks to rein in price growth. Higher yields are wreaking havoc on the stock market because they threaten to slow spending and borrowing by both consumers and businesses.

  • Taking on debt for summer travel? You're not alone

    The summer travel season is around the corner. But with high inflation and interest rates, there are questions about the health of the US consumer heading into the summer. A new Bankrate survey found that more than one-third of Americans are willing to take on debt for travel. Bankrate Senior Industry Analyst Ted Rossman joins Wealth! to give insight into the health of the consumer during the summer travel season. When asked who specifically was willing to take on debt, Rossman responds, "Millennials, actually, they love their experiences. They are more likely to be splurging on travel. Where it really stood out was a different recent study we did, we asked not only about travel but also dining and concerts and sporting events and other live entertainment, that's where people under the age of 40 really stood out."

  • UPDATE 1-Dollar sags after US GDP and inflation surprise, except against yen

    While the dollar was hardly shaken against the beleaguered yen, it otherwise saw only a brief gain after the Commerce Department reported that U.S. gross domestic product grew at a 1.6% annualized rate in the January-March period, slower than the 2.4% rate expected by economists polled by Reuters. The inflation surprise puts an even greater-than-usual focus on the release on Friday of PCE price index data for March. The yen, meanwhile, hit a fresh 34-year low versus the dollar and a 16-year low against the euro on Thursday as investors expect a Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy meeting that ends on Friday to not be hawkish enough to support the Japanese currency.

  • Valley National Bancorp's Q1 profit plunges on bigger loan-loss provisions
