| Happy Monday and Halloween. It's Katie Wedell with your top headlines of the day. For what it's worth, I'm squarely in camp pro-candy corn. |
| Whether you're handing out candy tonight dressed as a Sanderson sister or tackling one of the other most popular Halloween costumes of the year, you'll, of course, want to have plenty of treats on hand to avoid a trick this evening. Here's a list of the most popular candy by state. |
| Many adults would be more excited to see a Powerball ticket in their trick-or-treat sack. The lottery game's jackpot has soared past $1 billion for tonight's drawing after no one matched all six numbers to win Saturday night's $825 million grand prize. The pot is the largest this year and the fifth-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. |
| The jackpot lump-sum payout option is now $497 million. But, less than two months ago, the payout would have been tens of millions of dollars higher. You can thank inflation for that. |
Fed interest rate increase expected |
| The Federal Reserve Board meets again this week. The central bank is widely expected to raise interest rates by another 0.75 percentage point on Wednesday. |
| Where markets will move after this week's announcement is anyone's guess. But the stock market's response to the last five rate hikes may provide some clues. |
| Even with worries about an impending recession, investors have been surprisingly upbeat on the days when the Fed has increased interest rates. |
