Tomorrow morning's brief

Fed holds. Here's the part everyone missed.

The dot plot moved. Your mortgage rate didn't. Why that gap matters for the next 90 days.

The retirement number just changed again

One chart: where the US jobs actually are

Healthcare, government, and one surprise sector are carrying the entire labor market.

Quick hits: 4 things that moved

Home sales, gas prices, consumer confidence, and one widely-shared claim we're correcting today.
