Everything costs too much these days. The good news is, consumers can afford to scrimp on streaming in August.

San Francisco-headquartered neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is one of today’s most interesting fintech firms.

A robust summer travel season and improved international and business travel helped major U.S. airlines deliver profits in the second quarter.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s optimistic comments about the U.S. economy on Wednesday added to a debate among investors about whether stocks have reached a bear-market bottom.

The economy is somewhere in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hiking saga to tame inflation, but people already want to know where the story ends.
