They can also weigh on consumer demand … and by extension, revenue. But some businesses are more sensitive to interest rate hikes than others.

• 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.

We look at the economic impact on the city of the subway shutting down, for even relatively short periods of time.

Marketplace Morning Report

• When you go to a grocery store or pharmacy, do you prefer those self-checkout lines that have become so ubiquitous? Or are you actually more likely to avoid them because you just know you’re not going to be able to scan your item without an error message popping up and a sales associate having to come over to help you out? Self-checkouts and their shortcomings are the subject of a new piece in The Atlantic magazine, written by staff writer Amanda Mull and she joins David Brancaccio to discuss.

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said in a Knesset committee that after Israel eliminates Hamas, it will relinquish responsibility for Gaza and establish a new security regime in the Strip. We’ll examine what that could look like and explore what Israel can do to avoid a power vacuum in Gaza.
• Thursday, Nov 2: In June this year 170 countries agreed to develop a first draft of what could become the first global treaty to curb plastic pollution.

• Kai talks to Kristin Toussaint, a staff editor at Fast Company…about the magazine’s investigation on CEO pay.
• We are in month two of arguably the most important antitrust trial of the 21st century, United States vs. Google LLC. You can kind of sum up the heart of the federal government’s case in one word: Default. DOJ says Google paid Apple and other companies billions of dollars annually to be the default search engine on your iPhone and other devices, because defaults would keep out competition. 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? Marketplace’s Matt Levin is on the consumer inertia beat today.
