White House tight-lipped about exploding devices in Lebanon
At the White House press briefing on Wednesday, national security communications adviser John Kirby offered few details about reports of exploding pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon over the past two days. Reports say that the explosions targeted devices used by Hezbollah. The Israeli military has not commented on the explosions. At the briefing, Kirby said the United States was not involved in the explosions "in any way." He also said the U.S. doesn't want to see an escalation "of any kind" in the region, and doesn't believe the way to solve the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon is through more military actions, but through negotiations.

Morning Bid: Fed goes big, markets yo-yo
"Go big, and go bold," was the advice to Fed Chair Jerome Powell and colleagues from some U.S. policy watchers and even former policymakers, and didn't they do just that. The Federal Reserve's half percentage point interest rate cut on Wednesday was a statement of intent that the Fed stands ready to protect the labor market and steer the economy away from anything approaching recession. Treasury yields rose across the curve, more so at the longer end, perhaps on underlying worries over inflation and easier financial conditions, or because the Fed slightly revised up its long-run forecast for the fed funds rate.

Fed cut allowing homebuyers to 'get off the fence': Brokers
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points and Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank expects the housing market to normalize alongside rates. Compass Real Estate brokers Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon join Josh Lipton on Asking for a Trend to discuss what the rate cut means for the US real estate market. Postilio tells Yahoo Finance the real estate industry is “popping the champagne bottle, because for the last three years it's just been a lot of headwinds,” but the “half a point is big news.” “August is typically a very sleepy month, [but this year] it was on fire,” Conlon says, explaining that typically there’s less interest in buying a home during the fall season, especially ahead of a presidential election. “We hit the ground running, and that's all in anticipation of today's announcement,” as it seems people have put aside any election worries aside “because there's so much pent-up demand and there has been for three years” and “this announcement gave [buyers] permission to get off the fence," Conlon states. Postilio finds this increase in demand activity has been “across the board,” but the luxury sector stands out. Compass Real Estate saw the most signed contracts in the week following Labor Day in nearly two decades, he reports. “Low inventory and high interest rates” have been “an absolute disaster for first-time buyers because it's really priced them out of the market,” Conlon notes, indicating that the rate cut could help address alleviate these challenges.
