Banks are investing more in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) to mitigate the risk of losing deposits in the face of rising interest rates, with $25 billion in new CMO sales in April the highest in three years. This move is driven by banks' struggle to retain deposits due to competition from higher-yielding instruments. Through CMOs, banks can reduce risk by investing in shorter-term securities with floating rates, matching their liabilities and assets while also benefiting from attractive yields, amidst the need to prevent deposit flight.

Hydration is essential year-round for proper cell functioning, energy, weight loss, joint health, headache prevention, and UTI risk reduction. A doctor and nutritionist suggest women should aim for roughly 2.7 liters of fluids a day, with 20% coming from water-rich foods. Physical activity increases the need for hydration, for which plain water is the best choice, although sparkling water, herbal tea, raw fruits, vegetables, coconut water, and electrolyte drinks are also good options. Caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and artificial additives should be limited in fluid intake. Staying hydrated is vital for overall health and wellbeing.
