• The Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy affects virtually everything involved with running a business. Higher rates can affect expansion plans, inventory levels, and new hiring. They can also weigh on consumer demand … and by extension, revenue. But some businesses are more sensitive to interest rate hikes than others. Marketplace’s Justin Ho looks at sectors of the economy where interest rates just don’t matter all that much — whether they’re high or low — and the characteristics that define businesses that are insulated from the Fed’s decisions.

• Nov 10: Marketplace Reporter Elizabeth Trovall will look at how the explosion of cross-border trade through Laredo, TX is straining the roads, bridges and railways there – and check in on the current status of the new projects aimed at facilitating speedy trade. Cross border trade through Laredo has grown 40% in the past decade, which has increasingly strained the existing border infrastructure. Each year the number of cars on the border bridges increases around 4% – though in 2023, it’s up 6%. This growth is happening as a $40 million project to expand the World Trade Bridge is underway – a project that lawmakers are asking to expedite due to the strain.
• Nov 14: Marketplace reporter Elizabeth Trovall will visit a manufacturing facility in Nuevo Laredo and walk through the Mexico-US supply chain. This year Mexico became the top U.S. trading partner (in part due to Trump-era tariffs), and Mexico’s expanding manufacturing sector has been a promising alternative to China as the U.S. moves further towards nearshoring. Half of U.S. investment in Mexico currently goes towards manufacturing. Trovall will look at how that investment has created new manufacturing opportunities in Nuevo Laredo, and how what’s made in those factories will integrate into U.S. supply chain.

You can kind of sum up the heart of the federal government’s case in one word: Default.

Google says it’s just better, and if consumers really want to use some other search engine, nothing’s stopping them. But how often do you really change the defaults on…anything?

APM Presents special of the week

My Journey, Yours: A Cantus Immigration Special

Air Window: Now – November 30, 2023

My Journey Yours, a program of works anchored by Elise Witt’s piece of the same name, explores the courage of those who leave their homes in search of a brighter future and how they adapt to their new homeland. This program honors the struggle, courage, and deep humanity of migration with music from around the world, as well as a newly commissioned piece by Melissa Dunphy, one of today’s most compelling compositional voices.
