The day before the Independence Day Holiday here in the U.S. and a reminder that we're going to be out tomorrow as well. As Wall Street goes, so too do we. We will, however, be posting a number of past business conversations on our social media feeds.  Speaking of which, if you want to reach out to us on social media you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• The travel rush is underway and what to expect;
• What the Central Bank minutes tells us;
• We'll take a closer look at the ADP report on employment;
• Microsoft agrees to pay $14.4 million to some employees and why;
• The Wall Street Report;
• And, more lousy news from the housing sector.

Thanks for being here!
