At the FOMC's most recent meeting in July and its Jackson Hole conference in August, Powell indicated a strong likelihood of rate cuts in September.While the Federal Reserve is concerned with its dual mandate of steady inflation and full employment, its actions can have significant impacts on investors.

Folio Books staff to bring Noe Valley Books to same space in October

Four former staff members at the defunct Folio Books are working to open a new bookstore — named Noe Valley Books — at the same location as the shuttered neighborhood staple as soon as October. There has been a bookstore at at 3957 24th St. between Sanchez and Noe for nearly four decades — “the bookstore across from Whole Foods,” as locals say. Phoenix Books was at the site for 28 years until 2013. Then came Folio Books, which stayed in business for a decade, but then closed its doors in February this year. Isaiah Scandrette, co-owner of the nascent Noe Valley Books, started working at Folio Books in May 2021. He said he didn’t realize how much people loved the bookstore until the announcement of its closure.  “People were coming in tears, asking ‘Did we not do enough?’” Scandrette recalled. “That really […]
