🇺🇸🪙The Federal Reserve left US interest rates unchanged during its policy meeting, marking the third time in a row for such a decision after 11 prior interest rate hikes to help ease inflation.
The 5.25%-5.5% range, in place since July, is the highest level in lending rates that the United States has practiced since 2001.
It was further indicated that three rate cuts were on the board in 2024, with another four in 2025. Three additional cuts were forecasted for 2026, with the ultimate goal being to cut rates to between 2% and 2.25%.

💨 Wind farms could join oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico
The Biden administration is eyeing chunks of the Gulf of Mexico as new areas to expand its growing offshore wind ambitions. Today, President Joe Biden proposed opening up 700,000 acres off the coasts of Galveston, Texas, and Lake Charles, Louisiana, to future wind development. The administration is now looking for public input on developing those locations, after its Wednesday proposal to make them official “wind energy areas” where lease sales could be held in the future.
Biden has tried to kickstart offshore wind development along other shorelines outside the East Coast. The administration created two new wind energy areas off of California, and is also looking into locations off the Oregon coast.
Wind turbines in the Gulf of Mexico could generate up to 508 gigawatts of electricity. Last year, Biden set a goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind generation by 2030, which says could power 10 million homes.

🏴 England shocks Spain in extra time to reach semifinals of Women's Euros
The Lionesses fell behind in the second half after a low strike from Esther Gonzalez, but struck back with a goal from Ella Toone to take the match into extra time. The team had everything their own way in the group stage as they plundered 14 goals without reply against Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland.
La Roja had been pre-tournament favourites before injuries to reigning Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas and all-time top goalscorer Jennifer Hermoso rocked their preparation. Spain's ability to keep the ball off the hosts frustrated England and another sell out crowd of 29,000 in Brighton for the vast majority of the first 90 minutes. But they again struggled to turn their possession into goals.
The win secured England's spot in the final four of the European Championships. They will face either Sweden or Belgium in the semi-finals.
