$264.5M New River rail project gets underway

Virginia , U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and other dignitaries broke ground Thursday on the long-awaited Rail Project in , which will return passenger service to the New River Valley for the first time since 1979.

The $264.5 million project involves infrastructure upgrades that will allow the Virginia Authority to extend its Amtrak Virginia service from Roanoke to Christiansburg. It includes a new station platform with canopy, a parking lot and access roads, track improvements, an updated signaling system and an Amtrak layover facility in nearby . Preliminary construction on the project began in late February and full construction will commence this spring.

The new station stop is being developed at the historic Christiansburg station building in , which previously served the community from 1906 to 1979.

“Today’s groundbreaking represents a lot of hard work, determination and collaboration,” Youngkin said in a statement. “We are here today because came to the table and worked together to execute a new and dramatically better deal — one that accelerates the return of passenger rail service to the New River Valley years earlier, on a better line, and at a much lower cost to Virginia’s taxpayers — than the one I inherited.”

The extension of service to Christiansburg will be through Norfolk Southern’s main line, the result of a 2024 agreement between VPRA and Norfolk Southern. As part of that agreement, VPRA purchased the Manassas line and gained access to Norfolk Southern’s main line.

According to the governor’s , the New River Valley Passenger Rail Station Authority — created by the Virginia in 2021 — has the lead in renovating the historic station in Cambria, which will be called the New River Valley Station.

The governor’s office says Amtrak Virginia service is expected to begin in 2027 with two daily round trips between Christiansburg and Washington, D.C., with stops in Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Culpeper, Manassas, Burke Centre and Alexandria.

“Expanding rail service and connecting people across the commonwealth is great for local economies, cuts traffic and improves air quality,” said Kaine, who helped secure federal funds for the platform study that landed on the location for the extension to Christiansburg, in a statement.

Ray Smoot, co-chair of the New River Valley Passenger Rail Initiative — an advocacy organization backed by local governments and higher education — said he had advocated for the project since 2013 and was “delighted” to see it finally get off the ground. Seeing it become a reality, he said, “restores confidence in being able to work on something with the government. We feel like a lot of long, hard work and capacity has paid off.”

Retailers misjudge shopper priorities, loyalties amid rising costs, said Rakuten report

Rakuten, a cash back platform, has released a new in conjunction with the Harris Poll, revealing a disconnect between shopper brand loyalty and retailer confidence as economic uncertainty continues and budgets get tighter. More than half – 55% – of consumers say they plan to prioritize products with the lowest when shopping in the coming months, while only 5% of think will choose to trade down to lower quality products and less expensive brands than the ones they are accustomed to.

Per Rakuten, retailers understand that shoppers will prioritize price, but they believe that brand loyalty will remain intact, with 33% believing that shoppers will look for ways to save and stack incentives to continue purchasing their preferred brands. An additional 32% believe that shoppers will shift their purchasing to discount retailers that feature their favorite brands.

“Consumers are looking for value, but the cost of doing business is increasing for retailers,” says Julie Van Ullen, chief officer at Rakuten Rewards. “Retailers are in a very difficult position. They cannot assume that shopper loyalty will remain intact if they choose to pass the added costs onto the consumer by raising prices, but they also cannot afford to offer discounts. Instead, retailers will need to leverage other incentives like cash back that allow retailers to attract value-seeking shoppers without adjusting prices at all.”

Rakuten’s study reveals that consumers are struggling with their everyday purchases, impacting the opportunity for retailers to engage shoppers and drive revenue. Key findings include the following:

  • Nineteen percent of consumers said they cannot afford to pay their household bills, and 17% cannot afford necessities like food and gas.
  • Only 36% of consumers said they can afford all their daily expenses in addition to non-essential items.
  • Over a quarter – 28% – cannot afford personal purchases like new clothing, makeup, electronics and more.
  • Roughly two-fifths, or 41%, plan to shop less than in previous years.

Retailers understand that consumers are financially stressed, with 74% saying shoppers are more concerned with the affordability of everyday purchases than last year. Regardless, 73% of retailers remain optimistic that they will meet their company’s sales objectives for the first half of 2025. This optimism is backed by an increase in spend, with two-thirds, 67%, saying their budgets increased over last year.

Ongoing volatility is crashing consumer sentiment

remains top of mind for consumers, with 39% of consumers citing inflation as having the most impact on their 2025 shopping plans. Shoppers remain pessimistic about inflation, as 77% believe prices will continue to increase throughout the year.

Grocery prices have a large impact on how shoppers spend, even beyond the grocery store, with 57% saying that rising grocery prices have caused them to cut back on non-essential shopping. Shoppers are split on how to address rising grocery prices. A little less than half, 41%, are more at the grocery store to purchase from the same brands they are accustomed to, while 39% are shifting to cheaper alternatives. Thirteen percent said they are completely abstaining from buying products affected by price hikes, like eggs.

“For retailers to meet their sales objectives, they will need to earn a significant share of an increasingly limited consumer spend,” added Van Ullen. “As shopper wallets tighten and marketer budgets increase, it’s time for retailers to get aggressive with their promotional strategies.”

Retailers are dipping into performance marketing

Per Rakuten, while retailers are sensitive to shopper sentiment and the impact of inflation on household budgets, they believe that “shopper loyalty will remain.” This is reflected in how retailers are choosing to spend their increased marketing budgets for 2025.

A majority, 83%, say they are prioritizing social media spend, followed by search, 65%, and display, 50%. Only 36% of retailers are prioritizing performance marketing channels like affiliates to drive sales.

While performance marketing isn’t their top priority, this tactic is receiving more attention from retailers this year, with 30% of marketers planning to reallocate some of their upper-funnel budget towards lower-funnel performance drivers. Nearly half – 48% – say they will be increasing their spend by offering incentives like loyalty-based rewards and cash back.

“This year, retailers will need to prioritize marketing strategies like cash back that are proven to drive sales,” says Van Ullen. “These strategies are effective for incentivizing shoppers and providing them with permission to buy, without the need for retailers to discount and eat into their margins. Reallocating marketing budgets away from general brand awareness and focusing on conversion and getting to hit the buy button is a step in the right direction, but more retailers will need to make affiliate marketing a priority if they want to meet their sales objectives.”

Virginia’s future retail marijuana market likely depends on gubernatorial election

SUMMARY:

  • Gov. Youngkin vetoes legislation for second time
  • Retail cannabis policy hinges on outcome of upcoming governor’s race
  • Proposed tax structure could generate $74M in five years
  • Public support for retail marijuana in Virginia reaches 57%

 

, Va. — vetoed legislation to legalize retail marijuana for the second year in a row, reaffirming his opposition as the state heads into a pivotal election season.

 “Anybody who thinks I’m gonna sign that legislation must be smoking something,” Youngkin said in 2024.

lawmakers in both chambers have attempted unsuccessfully to create the retail market since 2021. Different measures have been delayed, blocked or vetoed.

As Youngkin nears the end of his term, Virginia voters will have the opportunity to decide the direction of marijuana policy in the state. The outcome of this year’s gubernatorial race, between Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and Democratic former Rep. , could determine if marijuana retail sales are implemented.

JM Pedini, executive director of the Virginia chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or , worked with lawmakers to help move the bills through the General Assembly.

Pedini pointed out the stakes of electing a governor who would sign an adult-use retail measure into law. Essentially, any bill could continue to get vetoed and the next gubernatorial election would be four years away.

“Then the next opportunity to enact such a measure will not be until 2030,” Pedini said.

Earle-Sears echoed Youngkin’s views on recreational marijuana sales when he campaigned in 2021 saying “there’s no hope in that.” She said marijuana is a gateway drug, and also that she had fired a previous employee for their use of it.

Spanberger, meanwhile, has voiced support for a regulated retail market.

“We also need to make sure that [tax] revenues flow into Virginia and are used to strengthen our communities and public schools,” Spanberger told RVA Mag. “We need a formalized, legal, emerging cannabis market.”

Neither Earle-Sears nor Spanberger responded to two email requests for an interview about marijuana policy and financial impact.

The proposed bill placed a 1.125% sales tax and a 8% excise tax on any retail marijuana, marijuana-related products and paraphernalia sold. The bill would have also allowed localities the option to add up to a 2.5% excise tax.

The tax structure would have generated around $1.5 million in in fiscal year 2026, but would have grown to $74 million over five years, according to the state fiscal impact statement.  

Del. Paul Krizek, D-Fairfax, who sponsored House Bill 2485 is running for reelection and has said he plans to reintroduce the bill if Democrats regain power in the House. His counterpart in the Senate, Sen. Aaron Rouse, D-Virginia Beach, carried the companion bill. Rouse is 1 of 6 candidates vying for lieutenant governor  in the Democratic primary.

Despite the failure of multiple attempts to pass legislation, public opinion may be shifting. A Wason Center poll found last year that 57% of Virginia likely voters support the retail sale of marijuana.

Political expert Stephen Farnsworth, a professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington and the director of its Center for Leadership and Media Studies, is skeptical that cannabis policy alone will drive voter turnout. However, he predicts Democrats will retain their majority in the House.

“Normally, angry voters decide elections in Virginia,” Farnsworth said. “And the who are usually the angriest the year after a presidential election are the people whose party lost the White House.”

In his recent veto message, Youngkin cited concerns about the illicit market, harm to children and potential increases in crime and psychiatric disorders.

“Attempting to rectify the error of decriminalizing marijuana by establishing a safe and regulated marketplace is an unachievable goal,” Youngkin wrote. “The more prudent approach would be to revisit the issue of discrepancies in enforcement.

Krizek disagreed and said limiting a retail market allows criminals to benefit.

“The Governor doesn’t get it. We’ve worked hard to craft sensible, effective legislation,” Krizek wrote in an email. “They know it’s wrong to allow criminals to reap hundreds of millions of dollars while pushing dangerous unregulated products.”

With all House of Delegate seats on the ballot in addition to the governor’s race, the November election could be pivotal for marijuana policy and more. This year’s contest is also historic because both major-party front runners for governor are female.

Average US rate on a 30-year mortgage eases to 6.81%, hovering near highest level in over two months

The average rate on a 30-year mortgage in the U.S. eased this week, though it remains close to its highest level in more than two months.

The rate fell to 6.81% from 6.83% last week, mortgage buyer said Thursday. A year ago, the rate averaged 7.17%.

costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, popular with homeowners refinancing their home loans, also fell. The average rate dropped to 5.94% from 6.03% last week. It’s down from 6.44% a year ago, Freddie Mac said.

are influenced by several factors, including global demand for U.S. Treasurys, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policy decisions and bond market investors’ expectations for future .

After climbing to a just above 7% in mid-January, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage has remained above 6.62%, where it was just two weeks ago. It has risen sharply since then, reflecting volatility in the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing home loans.

The yield, which had mostly fallen this year after climbing to around 4.8% in mid-January, spiked earlier this month to 4.5% amid a sell-off in government bonds triggered by investor anxiety over the potential fallout from the ‘s ongoing trade war.

The 10-year Treasury yield was at 4.34% in midday trading Thursday, down from 4.40% late Wednesday.

March home sales slowed in a lethargic opening to the spring buying season

Sales of previously occupied U.S. slowed in March, a lackluster start to the spring season as elevated and rising discouraged home .

Existing fell 5.9% last month from February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.02 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. The March sales decline is the largest monthly drop since November 2022, when sales fell 6.7% from the previous month, and marks the slowest sales pace for the month of March going back to 2009.

Sales also fell 2.4% compared with March last year. The latest home sales fell short of the 4.12 million pace economists were expecting, according to FactSet.

The average cost of a U.S. mortgage, which climbed to its highest level in two months last week, is a significant barrier for would-be homebuyers, said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist.

“Residential housing mobility, currently at historical lows, signals the troublesome possibility of less economic mobility for society,” Yun said.

increased on an annual basis for the 21st consecutive month, although at a slower rate. The national median sales price rose 2.7% in March from a year earlier to $403,700, an all-time high for March, but the smallest annual increase since August.

The U.S. housing market has been in a sales slump since 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic-era lows. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell last year to their lowest level in nearly 30 years.

Higher mortgage rates also dampened the start of the spring homebuying season in 2024. This year, after climbing to a just above 7% in mid-January, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage has remained mostly elevated, climbing last week to 6.83%, its highest level in eight weeks, according to mortgage buyer . The average rate eased this week to 6.81%.

Homes purchased last month likely went under contract in February and early March, when the average rate on a 30-year mortgage ranged from 6.89% to 6.63%, according to Freddie Mac.

While sales of existing home fell last month, sales of newly built homes surged in March. They jumped 7.4% from February and 6% from March last year, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.

To drum up sales, homebuilders have ramped up sales incentives, such as paying to lower the initial rate on a homebuyer’s mortgage. Many builders have also shifted to their focus to smaller, less expensive homes. That helped lower the median sale price on a newly built home last month to $403,600.

In contrast, existing home sales tend to be driven by properties on the upper-end of the market, where more affluent homebuyers can afford to finance a home at current mortgage rates or perhaps pay cash. Consider, sales of homes priced at $1 million or higher jumped 14% last month from a year earlier, while those priced between $100,000 and $250,000 fell 4%, NAR said. The trend helps push up the median sales price for existing homes.

“Usually, the median home price for newly constructed homes would carry about a 15%-20% premium over existing homes,” Yun noted.

Sales fell in March even as more homes hit the market for the spring homebuying season.

There were 1.33 million unsold homes at the end of last month, an 8.1% increase from February, and a 19.8% jump from March last year, NAR said.

That translates to a 4-month supply at the current sales pace, up from a 3.2-month pace at the end of March last year. Traditionally, a 5- to 6-month supply is considered a balanced market between buyers and sellers.

“I felt that more inventory would lead to more sales, but that’s not the case,” Yun said.

One reason the inventory of homes for sale has been rising is that properties are taking longer to sell. Homes typically remained on the market for 36 days last month before selling, up from 33 days in March last year, NAR said.

More homes for sale and lower asking prices in many metro areas from Miami to San Diego, translate to a more buyer-friendly market for home shoppers who can afford to buy.

Sellers gave buyers money toward repairs, closing costs and other concessions in 44.4% of U.S. home sales that occurred in the first quarter, according to data from Redfin. That was up from 39.3% a year earlier.

Many sellers are also lowering asking prices. More than 23% of home listings on Zillow had their price lowered in March, the highest share for any March since at least 2018.

Despite these buyer-friendly trends, the housing market remains largely out of reach for many Americans, especially first-time buyers who don’t have home equity gains to put toward a new home. While home price growth has been slowing, the decline is negligible against the nearly 50% gain in prices over the last five years.

“Uncertainty and anxiety are going to cloud the spring housing market this year,” said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS. “Lower mortgage rates and more inventory were expected to bring more home shoppers out this spring, but while some buyers will take advantage of more listings and more room for negotiation, others will hold back, unwilling to make a big decision in these current uneasy times.”

Atlantic Union: Q1 Earnings Snapshot

GLEN ALLEN, Va. (AP) — Corp. (AUB) on Thursday reported first-quarter profit of $49.8 million.

The bank, based in , Virginia, said it had of 52 cents per share. Earnings, adjusted for costs related to mergers and acquisitions and non-recurring costs, were 57 cents per share.

The results missed expectations. The average estimate of three analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of 69 cents per share.

The holding company for posted of $335 million in the period. Its revenue net of interest expense was $217.1 million, also missing Street forecasts. Three analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $220.7 million.

Atlantic Union have dropped 30% since the beginning of the year. The stock has decreased 20% in the last 12 months.

Wall Street rallies as companies keep piling up profits, for now at least

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s rally kept rolling Thursday as better-than-expected profits for U.S. companies piled up, though CEOs said they’re unsure whether it will last because of uncertainty created by President Donald Trump’s .

The S&P 500 charged 2% higher and pulled within 11% of its record set earlier this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 486 points, or 1.2%, while the Nasdaq composite jumped 2.7%.

helped lead the way, including ServiceNow after the AI platform company delivered a stronger profit for the start of 2025 than analysts expected. The company, whose AI agents help clients manage their customers, saw its stock jump 15.5% after it also gave a forecasted range for upcoming subscription that beat some analysts’ expectations.

Southwest Airlines likewise reported stronger results than expected for the first three months of the year. But its stock flipped between gains and losses through the morning after it also became the latest U.S. carrier to say the outlook for the looks so cloudy that it’s pulling some of its financial forecasts for the year.

CEO Bob Jordan said the company is “controlling what we can control,” and it’s cutting how much flying it will do in the second half of the year. Southwest’s stock eventually pulled higher in afternoon trading and finished up 3.7%.

Rival American Airlines, meanwhile, pulled its financial forecasts for the full year and said it plans to provide an update when “the becomes clearer.” Its stock rose 3.1% after it also topped profit expectations for the latest quarter.

Companies across industries have been talking about how difficult it is to give financial forecasts for the upcoming year, as Wall Street typically expects them to do, because of the on-again-off-again rollout of Trump’s .

U.S. stocks rallied the prior two days on hopes that Trump was softening his approach on tariffs and his criticism of the Federal Reserve, which had earlier shaken markets. But , the world’s second-largest economy, on Thursday denied it’s involved in active negotiations with the United States over tariffs, saying that any suggestion of progress was as groundless as “trying to catch the wind.”

Calling Trump’s policy announcements “headline turbulence,” Tan Jing Yi of the Asia & Oceania Treasury Department at Mizuho Bank warned that global economies could be hurt in the long run, adding: “Sentiments swing from hopes of intense relief to inflicted economic gloom.”

This week began with a steep loss for U.S. stocks on fears about the trade war, and it’s been a microcosm of the market’s severe swings in recent weeks as investors struggle with how to react to conditions that sometimes change by the hour. The only certainty is that the market will likely keep swinging until more clarity arrives on tariffs, which many investors expect would cause a recession unless they’re rolled back.

“It’s an unhealthy market backdrop right now, and we’re trying not to react too much,” said John Belton, a portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds.

Households across the United States are preparing for the higher prices that economists say tariffs would bring, while the head of the International Monetary fund urged countries to move “swiftly” to resolve their trade disputes that threaten global economic growth.

In the meantime, many U.S. companies are continuing to report stronger profit than analysts expected for the start of 2025, while offering caution and uncertainty about the year ahead.

Toy company Hasbro was a winner and jumped 14.6% after reporting better profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It cited strong growth for its Magic: The Gathering game, among other products.

Texas Instruments rallied 6.6% after the semiconductor company likewise reported a stronger profit than expected.

They helped offset a 3.7% drop for Procter & Gamble, which fell even though the company behind Olay, Tide and Pampers reported stronger results for the latest quarter than expected. Its revenue came in below expectations, and it also cut its forecast for profit growth this fiscal year.

Procter & Gamble said it’s expecting a $200 million hit to its this fiscal year because of higher costs for commodities.

At PepsiCo, CEO Ramon Laguarta said his company expects “more volatility and uncertainty” and that “consumer conditions in many markets remain subdued and similarly have an uncertain outlook.”

His company’s stock fell 4.9% after the beverage and snack maker cuts its forecast for an underlying measure of profit over 2025, citing increased costs from tariffs and subdued conditions for customers. A 25% tariff on imported aluminum for cans is among those hitting PepsiCo and other beverage makers.

All told, the S&P 500 rose 108.91 points to 5,484.77. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 486.83 to 40,093.40, and the Nasdaq composite jumped 457.99 to 17,166.04.

In the bond market, Treasury yields continued to ease following their disconcerting run higher earlier this month. Yields usually fall when fear is dominating markets, but their surprising earlier rise stirred fears that Trump’s trade war was degrading the U.S. bond market’s status as one of the world’s safest places to keep cash.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.30% from 4.40% late Wednesday, in part on expectations that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates later this year to soften the economic blow that may come from tariffs.

Yields sank after a report showed slightly more U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week than economists expected. A separate report said sales of previously occupied  weakened by more than expected in March.

In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed amid modest moves across much of Europe and Asia.
