Here's your money briefing for Wednesday, November 27th.

I'm J.R. Waylon for the Wall Street Journal.

Black Friday isn't what it used to be.

Some retailers roll out their holiday discounts early,

and a lot of folks who once brave the post- Thanksgiving crowds and traffic,

just go online now.

But the die-hard shoppers are undeterred

and are gearing up for a day at the mall. Many people told me they feel that they're able to

discover gifts that they wouldn't have found online. And they also are keeping their eye out for gifts

for themselves, clothing, electronics, and mainly they're

just going for the fun of it. We'll talk to Wall Street Journal reporter Kate King after the break.

Exchanges. The exchanges the Goldman Sachs podcast featuring exchanges on rates inflation and u.s. recession risk.

Exchanges on the market impact of AI. For the sharpest analysis on forces driving the markets and the economy,

count on exchanges between the leading minds at Black Friday looking for deals on holiday gifts.

Wall Street Journal reporter Kate King joins us. Kate, the traffic in crowds haven't scared them away?

No, these are the Black Friday diehards.

They love going out, being amongst the crowds, hearing the Christmas music.

And they don't even mind standing in long lines at Checo.

Wow.
