- According to former N.Y. Fed President William Dudley, a U.S. economic recession is in the cards because of what the Federal Reserve must do to cool inflation. He does not think it will be a severe slowdown. "A recession is pretty likely just because of what the Fed has to do," he said in an interview on Bloomberg Surveillance Tuesday. "But what's different this time, I think, is that if we have a recession, it's going to be a Fed-induced recession, and the Fed can end the recession by subsequently easing monetary policy."
- The New York State Gaming Facility Location Board approved a $500 million license fee for each of the three proposed casinos for the New York City area.

The panel members have yet to give a date for a final decision, which will depend on input from community groups and zoning officials.

- I believe we will continue to see this trend to where the spending and traveling will be slightly lower than pre-pandemic levels considering inflation this year and how spending money has been decreasing over the last year.
- Primary market: This week's most significant sale is a $950 million issue for the Triborough Bridge & Tunnel Authority NY. This underwriting is a pretty big issue for N.Y.
