The Business News Headlines 18 March 2024

Welcome to a brand new week and the Business News Headlines for Monday the 18th day of March. We'll kick things off with what the U.S. Central Bank is likely to do this week and a question if their 2% inflation rate target is...legit. And, of course we'll answer the question as to why prices in the U.S. continue to be so much higher than before the pandemic. Also, if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• The Fed wants you to be patient but are you?
• Why the price of so many things remains high;
• Businesses know you want to feel special...for a price;
• March Madness and more gambling allowed;
• The housing market may be bouncing back;
• Target and Express Check-Out and why;
• The Wall Street Report;
• Might the third time be a charm in Chattanooga?

Thanks for listening!
