Eligible consumers will have access to their money by 9 a.m. local time, according to Nacha, the trade group that handles the processing of direct deposits.

Following the meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell will discuss the board’s revised forecasts for economic growth and inflation, which Goldman Sachs expects to be higher than its December estimates. If officials signal earlier and faster hikes in short-term interest rates to cut inflation, it could douse the recent stock market rally and crimp a recovery, economists say. On the other hand, if the Fed is too lackadaisical about inflation, that\u00a0also could worry investors and inadvertently accelerate rising long-term rates, such as for home mortgages. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Federal Reserve Chairmain Jerome Powell says he expects U.S. job growth to begin to rebound in the coming months as more Americans get vaccinated. (March 4)<\/p>\n AP Domestic<\/span><\/p>\n Organizers of an effort to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday must submit nearly 1.5 million signatures needed to place the proposal before voters. If the signature drive is successful, the secretary of state’s office will conduct a review lasting several months. Newsom’s popularity has plummeted over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, an unemployment benefits scandal and his decision to attend an opulent party while telling residents to stay home. Newsom and his Democratic allies have cast the recall attempt as a “partisan” power grab. He tweeted Monday that he won’t be distracted by the recall attempt, “but I will fight it.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered his annual State of the State address Tuesday evening from an empty Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, surrounded by 56,000 seats representing roughly the number of people who have died during the pandemic.
