The Housing Market Has Started To Recover: The housing market has begun to recover after hitting a low point in the second week of November. We’re not out of the woods yet, but homebuyers are coming off the sidelines. redfin.com/news/the-housi…

One more sign the job market is cooling: It is getting a lot harder to find a remote job. Many prospective workers who were determined to get a remote job just a few months ago are hitting a wall as remote listings rapidly dwindle. wsj.com/articles/the-j… via @WSJ

The 3 takeaways from Powell's press conference: 1) The Fed could step down to a slower pace in Dec even if inflation data don't improve much 2) If there had been new estimates of the terminal funds rate released today, they would have moved up 3) Not ready to talk about a pause
