00:00I'm Conway Gittens reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Here's what we're watching on the street today.
00:04It was a record-setting Thursday on Wall Street as both the Dow and the S&P 500 closed at record highs.
00:12Investors are jubilant with the surprise size of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
00:17Meanwhile, in a sign of an uneven economy, sales of previously owned homes dropped two and a half percent in August,
00:23but weekly jobless claims fell to their lowest since May.
00:29In other news, student loan borrowers will have to wait longer to see how much of that debt will be erased, if at all.
00:35A block on President Biden's attempt to push through student loan forgiveness was extended by a Republican-appointed judge.
00:42The Biden administration was hoping to get relief into the hands of tens of millions of borrowers ahead of the November election,
00:49but the judge's ruling could make that timeline difficult to reach.
00:53The judge says he needs extra time to weigh two competing requests.
00:56The Biden White House wants the case thrown out altogether,
00:59while a number of GOP-led states have urged the courts to knock down the forgiveness plan, calling it nothing short of illegal.
01:07The Biden plan that's on hold would have wiped out $147 billion in debt for roughly 28 million Americans
01:14who either owe more than they borrowed, qualify for existing loan forgiveness programs,
01:19have a loan from a financially weak institution, or have been paying off the loan for decades but still have balances.
01:26So far, President Biden has overseen $169 billion in student debt forgiveness for roughly 5 million Americans.
01:35That'll do it for your daily briefing from the New York Stock Exchange. I'm Conway Gittins with The Street.
