According to a top corporate executive who spoke to CNBC, Reddit is stepping up its attempts to draw in more users from countries other than the United States, focusing on Brazil and India in an attempt to open up new advertising options. Jen Wong, Reddit's chief operational officer, stated in a lengthy interview that while roughly half of her company's current users are headquartered abroad, other platforms have between 80% and 90% of their users outside of the United States. Wong told CNBC, "That indicates a lot of our future user growth opportunity outside of the U.S. and local language." According to my perspective, every language presents a chance for another Reddit user. Reddit has always been an English-language website, but with the aid of AI translations, the firm hopes to reach ...

On Wednesday, a State Department official announced the release of three American nationals who had been held in China. They are John Leung, Kai Li, and Mark Swidan. The 70-year-old Long Island, New York native Li was arrested in 2016 and given a 10-year term in 2018 on espionage allegations that his family claims are unfounded. Swidan, a 40-year-old Texas businessman who had been in custody since 2012, was found guilty of drug-related accusations that a United Nations working group deemed lacked evidence, and in 2019 he was given a death sentence with a reprieve. Last year, a court in eastern China found John Leung, a 70-year-old American with permanent citizenship in Hong Kong, China, guilty of espionage and sentenced him to life in jail. Hong Kong and Chinese news agencies reported that...

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that inflation increased slightly in October as the Fed searches for signals about how much to cut interest rates. A 12-month inflation rate of 2.3% was indicated by a 0.2% monthly increase in the personal consumption expenditures price index, a broad indicator that the Fed favors as its inflation gauge. Although the yearly rate exceeded the 2.1% threshold in September, both were consistent with the Dow Jones consensus prediction. When food and energy were taken out of the equation, core inflation showed even more robust figures, rising by 0.3% each month and 2.8% annually. They both fulfilled expectations as well. Compared to the previous month, the annual rate increased by 0.1 percentage points. The majority of the month's inflation was caused by gr...

Homebuyers leaped off the fence when mortgage rates decreased last week. According to the seasonally adjusted index of the Mortgage Bankers Association, they increased overall mortgage demand by 6.3% over the previous week. For 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances of $766,550 or less, the average contract interest rate dropped from 6.90% to 6.86%. For loans with a 20% down payment, points, including the origination charge, stayed at 0.70. A good amount of pent-up demand among homebuyers was present, even though the rate drop wasn't particularly significant. Some were hoping for additional supplies, some for reduced rates, and some for the election to be over. Those are all finished now. Mortgage applications for house purchases rose 12% over the previous week and 52% ...

Why is purchasing a home so difficult? The salaries of the middle class have not kept up with prices. For the first time since 2002, mortgage rates are higher than 7%. Also, three out of ten houses are sold for more than their listing price. However, none of those elements really reflects the range of difficulties that consumers across the country encounter in the present marketplace. On the ground, situations might differ significantly between states and even counties. We are launching a new monthly indicator, the NBC News Home Buyer Index, to more accurately and closely reflect changes in the local housing market. The Home Buyer Index is a score on a range of 0 to 100 that indicates the difficulties a prospective buyer encounters while attempting to purchase a home. It was created by NBC...
