 S&P futures are up 16. NASDAQ futures 72. Dow futures up 99 points. As the numbers revive, hopes there could be an interest rate cut in September. Prices to save are rising, though. Costco put off an increase in its membership fees a couple of years ago. They will go up in September, $5 to $65 for most memberships. Premium ones go up $10 to $130. It's the first increase in seven years. Costco indicates it can do it because it has seen more sign-ups and customer loyalty.
