A new report highlights the challenges faced by Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, with regards to retirement savings. Nearly half of Gen X-ers feel they are falling behind in saving for retirement, with an average perceived need of $1.56 million to retire comfortably. Factors such as reliance on 401(k) plans due to the decline in traditional pensions, financial setbacks like credit card debt, and the impact of student loans have hindered their ability to save adequately. While newer generations benefit from features like auto enrollment and auto escalation in 401(k) plans, Gen X-ers are seeking financial advice and guaranteed income solutions to secure their retirement despite current challenges.

Two recent foreclosures of class-A office properties in Fort Worth and San Jose highlight the deep crisis in the commercial real estate sector. Fort Worth's Burnett Plaza, once a financial powerhouse, was purchased by Opal Holdings LLC in 2021 but faced significant occupancy declines due to COVID and was eventually foreclosed and bought back by Pinnacle Bank for a fraction of the original value. Similarly, the property at 3100 North First Street in San Jose, previously thriving, saw its value plummet following the expiration of Nio USA's lease, resulting in Vista Investment Group defaulting on mortgage payments and the property being sold at a loss. These cases reflect the challenges facing the commercial real estate market, with more foreclosures likely on the horizon.

The rate of failed U.S. trades was 1.90% on Wednesday, remaining roughly stable with the introduction of a faster settlement cycle, according to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. The average fail rate in May, before the faster settlement, was 2.01%. Market participants expected an increase to 4.1% after the T+1 implementation but it remained lower. Affirmation rate also rose to 94.55%, indicating successful trade settlements. Despite a smooth transition to T+1, it's early to predict if rates will stay steady, with a more comprehensive analysis needed in a couple of weeks.

Sprouted onions are safe to eat and do not need to be removed before using in recipes.

While sprouted onions may have a slightly different taste due to using up sugars for the sprouts, they are generally safe to consume, although avoiding raw preparations is recommended. Proper storage in low humidity areas can help prevent onions from sprouting prematurely.
