🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Tuesday brings a clear look at what economists expect from the Federal Reserve this week, plus a limited-time stop for anyone near Washington—or a good piece of history to read about from home.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: A Reuters poll found that 86 of 101 economists expect the Federal Reserve to raise its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point on Wednesday. The shift followed firmer inflation data and higher oil prices. The decision matters beyond markets: borrowing costs can reach mortgages, car loans, credit cards, savings rates, and business plans.

📜 Useful this morning: The National Archives is displaying all seven pages of George Washington’s annotated draft of the U.S. Constitution for the first time. The free, temporary exhibit runs through September 27 during regular museum hours in Washington, D.C. If a visit is not practical, the Archives announcement still offers a quick look at what makes the marked-up draft unusual.
