A worse-than-expected report on the labor market in August raised the odds that the Federal Reserve would open its rate cut campaign in September with a jumbo 50-point cut. Job growth fell short of expectations, while previous months were downwardly revised sharply. However, a smaller rate cut was still on...

How Will Friday's Jobs Report Affect The Fed's Decision on Interest Rate Cuts?

Gold hit a record high last month. Goldman Sachs analysts think it's not done rising. The firm in a Monday note said it has a price target of $2,700 per ounce on the precious metal. That's actually a bit less bullish than before, since the bank is now targeting early next year instead of later in 2024 — but that's still an 8% premium over the $2,525 high on Aug. 27. Gold futures ticked higher Wednesday to around $2,524 an ounce.

I’m a former nurse and recovering alcoholic, and I’ve been concerned by the lack of health education given to the general public about the dangers of mixing alcohol with certain medications. The common practice is to place warnings on medications that they should not be combined with alcohol. Although some doctors will provide warnings and some education, they often don’t because education takes up a lot of time in a busy healthcare environment. Plus, many doctors underestimate the ability of patients to retain education. Lastly, discussing this may prompt people to stop taking their vital medications so it becomes a risk/benefit issue.

Opinion: Why You Shouldn’t Mix These Medications With Alcohol
