What happened

We heard the wealthy would move out of New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles because of an unfriendly business climate, but did they actually?

Key facts

  • Reported by Fortune and published Wed, 23 Sep 2026 07:00:00 UTC.

Why it matters

Economic releases and corporate results feed directly into rate expectations, currency moves and equity pricing, so the detail here often matters more to markets than the headline itself.

What to watch next

  • Revisions to the initial figures once fuller data is released
  • How rate expectations and index futures respond
  • Guidance or commentary from the companies and policymakers involved
