Today's Tuesday, October 15.
Here's what we're covering.
It's a big week on Wall street, and the feeling so far is optimism.
Stocks have climbed since the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates a month ago, and the market's been setting record highs, including another one yesterday.
There had been a lot of hand wringing over how the labor market is doing and high prices, but the most recent data coming out has showed strong hiring numbers and milder inflation.
This week, big companies like Johnson and Johnson, Procter and Gamble, and Netflix will open their books for their quarterly earning reports, data that could provide another checkup on where the economy is heading.
Earnings for big banks JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo came out last week.
Their profits were down, but their results were still stronger than anticipated, suggesting the economy's in solid shape.
Not every sector of the market has been growing equally.
A lot of the gains have been driven by giant tech companies who've gone big into AI.
But investors hope if the economy stays resilient, other areas outside tech will see growth as well.
Kamala Harris, who's come under scrutiny for either not doing interviews or doing them with less traditional outlets, has agreed to sit down with Fox News.
The network announced that the vice president will be interviewed tomorrow by Bret Baier, its chief political anchor.
It will be Harris first formal interview with Fox, whose conservative programming often explicitly supports her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
Harris is expected to field 25 to 30 minutes of questions, and it could be an opportunity for her to reach viewers who may be skeptical of her candidacy.
