Banks are about to start sending a lot of cash to shareholders
The Federal Reserve has released the nation's biggest banks from pandemic limits on how much money they can return to shareholders. Banks are preparing to hike dividends and increase buybacks. Also, the latest round of data shows home prices went up yet again. Plus, in states where pandemic unemployment benefits have been cut early, some people left benefit rolls even before deadlines hit. Some of them have found work and some of them haven't. And, the latest NFT: an orchestra in Tennessee working with a local composer who's looking for more control over her work.
