Credit-Card Spending Piles Up as Savings Dwindle 

U.S. consumers continue to burn through their pandemic savings and are taking on more debt as they face high prices on everything from food and housing to entertainment. Marianne Lake, co-chief executive of JPMorgan Chase’s consumer bank, said at a December conference that before the pandemic, the bank’s lowest-income clients had on average 12 days’ worth of cash on hand. Today, that average is around 15 days, meaning consumers are close to spending down money they socked away during the pandemic. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Bitcoin Rose on Rumors in 2023. How to Predict What Comes Next.

Bitcoin may be a relatively new technology. It can still follow some pretty old market maxims.Back in October postings on X, formerly known as Twitter, suggested that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had finally approved the listing of a BlackRock exchange-traded fund that would directly track the price of bitcoin. It was quickly clear that this wasn’t correct. The SEC has delayed decisions on so-called spot ETFs, with some key deadlines now in 2024.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

How the Fintech Rally Could Fizzle in 2024

Financial-technology companies have rallied in 2023 even as rates rose. Some could now face risks from falling rates, as well as stepped-up competition.Higher rates did hit “fintech” stocks in many ways.
