US Apartment Rents Post Largest Annual Decline Since 2017 In March: Report Authored by Rob Sabo via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The national median apartment rent shook off the seasonal winter chill and inched up by 0.4 percent in March from February to $1,363 , Apartment List reported. A sign is posted in front of an apartment building with available rentals in San Francisco on June 9, 2023.

By comparison, year-over-year growth peaked at 18 percent during the winter of 2021. Rents are generally soft or stagnant during the late fall and winter months as renters tend to forgo moving plans when it’s cold outside, but rates trend upward with warmer springtime and summer weather. The slight gain in March was the second consecutive monthly increase following a six-month span of declining rents, the Apartment List report said. “ This turn represents the market creeping out of the off-season, and we’ll likely see continued increases in the months ahead as moving activity ramps up, in line with typical seasonal patterns ,” researchers at the organization wrote. The national median rent peaked at $1,442 in August 2022 but has since trended downward, excluding seasonal jumps during the past three summers. Despite being 5.5 percent lower than its pandemic-induced peak, the national median monthly rent was still up 15 percent from $1,146 in January 2021. Rents have softened behind a massive buildup of new apartment inventory. According to a February report by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB), multifamily development starts peaked at 547,000 apartment units in 2022, though apartment starts had dipped by 35 percent from that level by 2024. Multifamily starts were expected to be stronger in 2025 at an estimated 413,000 new units, the NAHB reported. However, new multifamily construction i...

In this article COIN USDC.CM= CRCL SHOP Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Costfoto | Future Publishing | Getty Images Coinbase received conditional approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to operate as a trust bank, the company said Thursday. If finalized, the crypto exchange will be able to operate payment products in addition to its custody business under federal supervision, Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal told CNBC. "Over the long haul we will be able to explore, with the OCC, offering not just custody products but also other infrastructure products, particularly around payments, that we think will expand and extend crypto payments in all sorts of new and interesting and important directions," Grewal said. The company made clear it will not become a commercial bank, take retail deposits or engage in fractional reserve banking — the practice employed by big banks of keeping just a fraction of customers deposits in reserve while lending out the rest. Still, a trust charter would give it the legal authority, access to banking infrastructure and regulatory credibility to move, hold, and settle money more efficiently — and perhaps set it up to compete more with PayPal or Square . The approval is a preliminary agreement that Coinbase's application meets key regulatory requirements, subject to fulfilling certain conditions before it can actually operate as a trust bank. Coinbase would be regulated directly by the OCC, one of the three main federal banking regulators, rather than be subject to state-based regulation, which is a major pain point for companies in fast moving industries like crypto. Up until this point, that's been "the only way to go about this," Grewal said, nodding to President Donald Trump's promise to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the world" in his second term. The Biden Administration before it famously maintained an anti-crypto stance that the industry believes hampered its growth and lead...

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) published its latest update for vehicle production and deliveries before the market opened this morning, and the report suggested ongoing headwinds for the company's core electric vehicle ( EV ) business. While the company produced 408,386 EVs last quarter, it posted only 358,023 vehicles in the quarter -- falling short of the average analyst estimate's call for 370,000 vehicles delivered in the period. Notably, a previous report from the company had estimated that it would deliver 365,645 vehicles in Q1. Tesla's Q1 deliveries were actually up 6% year over year from the 336,681 vehicles it delivered in the prior-year period . On the other hand, deliveries were down roughly 14% on a sequential quarterly basis. While sales seasonality is likely a driving factor in the decline from Q4's delivery level, the company's EV business still appears to be facing some significant demand issues. Image source: Tesla.

Canada’s biggest refinery is turning to Newfoundland for crude for the first time since 2020 as the war on Iran cuts off Middle Eastern supplies. Irving Oil Ltd. was granted permission by the Canadian Transportation Agency to use foreign tankers to shuttle 650,000 to 680,000 barrels of crude. The oil will be sent from the Whiffen Head terminal in Newfoundland and Labrador to its 320,000 barrel a day Saint John refinery in New Brunswick between April 25 and May 25, according to a notice . An email to Irving for comment was not immediately returned. Saint John, a major supplier of oil to the US Northeast , is the only Canadian refinery to rely on crude originating from the Persian Gulf. The US-Israel war on Iran has choked off supplies through the vital shipping route the Strait of Hormuz. Read More: US Allies Weigh Iran Outreach and Sanctions to Open Hormuz “The 2026 Iran conflict has resulted in the most significant crude oil supply disruption in recent history, with far-reaching implications for global production, shipping, refining, and energy security,” Irving said in its original March 13 application to use foreign tankers. “It is essential for our customers, for our business, and for the broader energy security of Atlantic Canada that we have the ability to use foreign crude oil tankers to access Canadian crude oil.” Despite the proximity, the last time that Irving received a cargo of crude oil produced off the shore of Newfoundland was in July, 2020. The tanker Clio delivered about 633,000 barrels of Hibernia crude to the Irving plant, according to Vortexa data. The refinery received multiple cargoes of Newfoundland crude in 2016 and 2017.
