Wall Street rallied overnight after the Federal Reserve maintained the U.S. cash rate at 5.25%-5.5% for another term as was expected by economists amid inflation continuing to fall in the world's largest economy. The Dow Jones rose 0.7%, the S&P500 added 1.05%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq has the biggest rise of 1.64%. The Fed's decision to maintain and not hike the US cash rate was received positively by markets however Fed Chair Jerome Powell did not rule out further rate hikes in future if inflation rebounds. Positively, economic data released in recent times all point toward economic stability while inflation also cools which supports the idea of a soft landing as opposed to a recession, with the latest ISM Manufacturing index showing manufacturing activity contracted more than expected in October.Over in Europe, markets closed higher on Wednesday ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision with the STOXX600 rising 0.7%, buoyed by retail stocks climbing 1.7%.

The European rally also came off the back of fresh euro zone inflation data being released showing inflation in the region hit a 2-year low of 2.9% in October.Locally yesterday, the ASX200 extended its green run into the midweek session, closing the day up 0.85% led by real estate stocks lifting 1.85%, while the health care and energy sectors added 1.45% and 1.13% respectively. The local rally was driven by strength in the US on Tuesday and the big miners rose on the back of the rising price of iron ore.What to watch today:Ahead of the local trading session here in Australia, the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX to open Thursday's session up 0.76%, extending the green run into a third session.On the commodities front this morning, oil is trading 0.15% lower at US$80.90/barrel, gold is flat at US$1982/ounce and iron ore is up 1.23% at US$123.50/tonne.AU$1.00 is buying US$0.64, 96.51 Japanese Yen, 52.22 British Pence and NZ$1.09.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has increased the rating on Infomedia (ASX:IFM) from a hold to a buy and maintain a 12-month price target of $1.75 ahead of the company's AGM in November where it is expected at least reiterate the FY24 revenue guidance. Bell Potter now sees reasonable value in the stock with the FY24 PE ratio back around 30x and some prospect of a soft upgrade is expected at the at the upcoming AGM.And Bell Potter has downgraded Ingham's Group (ASX:ING) from a buy to a hold and have slightly increased the 12-month price target to $3.95 from $3.90 following the release of a first quarter trading update from Australia's leading poultry producer. The update was ahead of Bell Potter expectations including underlying EBITDAL guidance of $128m, underlying NPATL of $71m, and the expectation of 2H24 to be below 1H24 reflecting traditional seasonality in the business and feed cost inflation. Alternative meats like beef and lamb prices have also contracted while poultry prices have outperformed competing animal protein sources over the last 18-months. The downgrade to a hold is in light of recent share price strength as well as exposure to feed cost inflation again emerging without comparable inflation in competing protein products.

This week on The Localist, Carrie is diving into the sometimes-scary world of business finances. Money can be stressful, emotional, and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be! Carrie was inspired to talk about this after participating in a SharkTank-like contest at a local high school. A lot of the projects had a common theme: underestimating how much funding their ideas would need. And this common theme isn't specific to high school students; many entrepreneurs underestimate the funding they'll need as well. Carrie then introduces the Rollwagen Theory of Accounting (disclaimer: Carrie is not an accountant!).

Carrie wraps up with the value of dividing money into buckets, the importance of having a solid business plan, and how you can still pursue your dream if the numbers don't add up.  Mentioned in this episode:  Infomedia  Banks Academy  Create Birmingham's CO.STARTERS The Big Pitch - REV Birmingham  Piper & Leaf Tea Co.  Bham Burger Battle  James Spann  Church Street Coffee and Books  FreshBooks  Wave  The Girl's Guide to Starting Your Own Business  In Search of the Perfect Store Front with Jackie and Lyndsy on The Localist Podcast  Southern Living  @ThinkLocalist on Instagram CarrieRollwagen.com

This week on The Localist, Carrie is diving into resolutions. Everyone has had their fair share of resolutions that didn't stick, but Carrie shares ideas for business resolutions that are approachable, not overwhelming.

Carrie also offers excellent resources that have helped her on her entrepreneurial journey, and she has ideas for podcast-lovers as well as bookworms.

This week, Carrie is back with another story from her experience owning a small business during the holiday season. We all love the magical feeling that Christmas decorations bring, and local shops are no exception. However, that magic doesn't happen all on its own! Carrie tells the story of her first Christmas decorating the shop with the help of her family. The Rollwagens know how to tackle a project, and things go well until Cal finds a way to inject a little chaos into the situation. Fortunately, the Christmas spirit prevails, the crisis is averted, and Carrie is reminded of the importance of family.  Mentioned in this episode:  Church Street Coffee and Books  Mr Willowby's Christmas Tree  The Jolly Christmas Postman  Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris  Letters From Father Christmas by J.R.R.

This week on the Localist, Pam Sanderson, Director of Account Development at Infomedia, joins Carrie to talk about everything you need to know about websites. Pam and Carrie dive in with where you should start when evaluating your website, and how to assess your goals. One of Pam's best tips is to focus on your customers and your content first, and she gives you a road map to follow from there. Pam and Carrie then discuss the best ways to strike a balance between your users, good design, and Google's algorithm (hint: consistent, quality content is a good place to start!). Content is truly king in the world of websites, and Pam and Carrie give great tips on how to create, utilize, and get the most out of your content. They wrap up the conversation with when to seek help with your website, and what you can expect if you work with a web developer.  Mentioned in this episode:  Carrie's Ecommerce Webinar Signup Pam Sanderson Infomedia WordPress Drupal Wix SquareSpace Church Street Coffee and Books  One Quick Question Podcast  Pam on One Quick Question Infomedia's Contact Form

This week on The Localist, Carrie dives into maintaining company culture while much of the workforce is still working remotely, and who better to join her for that conversation than two of her coworkers! Josh Brown, Customer Support Lead and introvert, and Bo Billingsley, Sales Specialist and extrovert, share their reactions to virtual team building ideas. Some of the suggestions include coworker chat-roulette (possibly an introvert's worst nightmare) and Zoom yoga classes. Carrie, Bo and Josh also discuss how to celebrate birthdays remotely, their feelings about new hire intro videos, and ways to recover the small talk that some of us (ahem, the extroverts) miss. They wrap up the conversation contemplating how quarantine might affect future business ideas, and how a hybrid workforce might function.  Mentioned in this episode:  Infomedia  Infomedia Team HotJar's ideas for virtual team building  Donut Slack app Domestique Coffee  Saturn  Health Bingo at Infomedia  Automattic Kudoboard  Goat-2-Meeting  One Quick Question with Infomedia

Michael Stuckey, Head of Support Development at Infomedia, joins Carrie this week to talk about working remotely and the systems that can help remote work run smoothly. Stuckey and Carrie discuss why they chose the products they currently use at Infomedia, and why Slack is superior to all (Stuckey really, really loves Slack!). Stuckey describes Slack's user experience, the many ways it boosts a team's morale, and the differences between the paid and free version. Stuckey and Carrie then move on to Gmail and how the Google Suite can easily replace Microsoft products, the many options available for video calls, and the fun bulletin board-like interface of Trello. They wrap up with best security practices, including what a VPN actually is and who needs it, why everyone should use a password manager (yes, even you!), and a few tips for creating strong passwords.  Mentioned in this episode:  Infomedia  Trello Asana  Slack  Google Drive  Zoom Google Meet GoTo Webinar  Matt Mullwenweg on Sam Harris' podcast  Outline VPN 1Password LastPass  @funk_master_stuck on Instagram @crollwagen on Instagram CarrieRollwagen.com

Brooke Fleming, Chief Revenue Officer of the tech focused event services and AV company Digital Motion, joins Carrie this week on The Localist. As an event focused company, Digital Motion had to pivot early — and fast — at the beginning of the pandemic, while also helping their clients do the same. Brooke tells us about a new tool, The Presenter, that helped them accomplish that, and how they work to deliver a tailored solution to each of their clients. Brooke and Carrie discuss how Digital Motion actually pulls off virtual and hybrid events, including partnerships, sponsorships, breakout sessions, and even marketing. At this point, we're all tired of poorly run Zoom meetings and bad webinars, and Brooke convinces us that now is the time to step up our game. They wrap up the conversation with a few takeaways, and Carrie gives an update on The Localist newsletter.  Mentioned in this episode:  Digital Motion Event Services Digital Motion's services Infomedia  WordCamp CarrieRollwagen.com Newsletter signup
