ROMANS: Welcome back. "Minding your Business" this morning. Right U.S. stock futures are down after a rocky day yesterday. Stocks first rallied then headed south, then a late-day surge sent the Dow up more than 140 points. The S&P; was also up, the NASDAQ slightly down. This recovery needs people to pump money into the economy. At 8:30 eastern we're going to find out if people did just that and spent more money in August. We'll also get the latest read on whether people are making more money. If you're a debit card customer, Bank of America says beginning next year it's going to charge customers $5 a month to use their debit cards. It's in response to a government rule capping how much banks can charge merchants for those debit card transactions. For many of you, now may be a good time to buy a home. Fixed mortgage rates hit their lowest levels since Freddie Mac began tracking them back in 1970. The 30 year fixed rate mortgage right averages 4.01 percent this week. We're saving more for retirement. According to a study by Mercer, 41 percent of people boosted their 401(k) contributions. That's 10 percentage points from last year. And 11 percent putting away the $16,500 maximum allowed by the IRS. AMERICAN MORNING will be right back after this break.
