The decrease in housing inventory in Beijing also reflects the changing preferences and behavior of homebuyers in the current market environment. With limited options available, buyers are forced to make quicker decisions and accept higher prices to secure a property in their desired location. This sense of urgency and competition has created a sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) among potential buyers, driving them to act swiftly before prices escalate further.
Accessing your Google Drive files on a computer typically requires opening a web browser — a process that can feel cumbersome, especially when you're juggling multiple tasks. However, if you frequently need to access your Google Drive files, you can integrate the service into Windows File Explorer. With this setup, your Google Drive files appear right alongside your local files, enabling seamless file management without any extra steps. You can drag and drop files between folders, rename documents, organize your workspace, or even delete items — all directly from File Explorer. This approach saves time and enhances productivity, making it easier to organize your Google Drive files and stay focused on your tasks. One of the standout benefits of this integration is offline access. By syncing Google Drive files or folders, you can continue working on important documents even when you're offline. Once you reconnect to the internet, any changes you've made automatically sync to the cloud, ensuring your workflow remains uninterrupted. Whether you're aiming for better organization, faster access, or improved file management, integrating Google Drive with File Explorer is simple. Below, we'll walk you through the steps to get started. Adding Google Drive to File Explorer is quick and easy, whether you're using Windows 10 or 11. All you need to do is download and set up the Google Drive app on your PC. Here's how to do it: Once the setup is complete, Google Drive will appear in File Explorer as a new drive and will be pinned to the Quick Access panel. You can then access, download, and manage your cloud files directly from the File Explorer. Note that the Google Drive app needs to run in the background for this to work. If you close the app on your PC , Google Drive will disappear from File Explorer, and you'll need to reopen the app to restore access. By default, the Google Drive app streams your files in File Explorer, meaning they don't take up storage space on your PC . However, this also means you need an internet connection to view these files. That said, if you want to access specific Google Drive files and folders offline, it's easy to do. Simply right-click on the Google Drive file or folder you want to make available and select Offline access > Available offline. This will allow Google Drive to create a copy of the file or folder on your PC, ensuring it's accessible even without an internet connection. If you'd prefer to have all your Google Drive files stored locally without setting up offline access for each one, you can configure the app to mirror your files. This will ensure that all your files and folders are saved on your PC. Here's how to do it: Google Drive will now download all your files on the PC, making them available for use at any time.
1. Opposition Forces: The most obvious winners in the aftermath of the regime change in Syria are the opposition forces that have been fighting against the Assad regime for years. With the fall of the regime, these groups now have a chance to establish themselves as legitimate political actors and shape the future of the country.President-elect Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell could be on a policy collision course in 2025 depending on how economic circumstances play out. Should the economy run hot and inflation flare up again, Powell and his colleagues could decide to tap the brakes on their efforts to lower interest rates. That in turn could infuriate Trump, who lashed Fed officials including Powell during his first term in office for not relaxing monetary policy quickly enough. “Without question,” said Joseph LaVorgna, former chief economist at the National Economic Council during Trump’s first term, when asked about the potential for a conflict. “When they don’t know what to do, oftentimes they don’t do anything. That may be a problem. If the president feels like rates should be lowered, does the Fed, just for public optics, dig its feet in?” Though Powell became Fed chair in 2018, after Trump nominated him for the position, the two clashed often about the direction of interest rates. Trump publicly and aggressively berated the chair , who in turn responded by asserting how important it is for the Fed to be independent and apart from political pressures, even if they’re coming from the president. When Trump takes office in January, the two will be operating against a different backdrop. During the first term, there was little inflation, meaning that even Fed rate hikes kept benchmark rates well below where they are now. Trump is planning both expansionary and protectionist fiscal policy , even more so than during his previous run, that will include an even tougher round of tariffs, lower taxes and big spending. Should the results start to show up in the data, the Powell Fed may be tempted to hold tougher on monetary policy against inflation. LaVorgna, chief economist at SMBC Nikko Securities, who is rumored for a position in the new administration, thinks that would be mistake. “They’re going to look at a very nontraditional approach to policy that Trump is bringing forward but put it through a very traditional economic lens,” he said. “The Fed’s going to have a really difficult choice based on their traditional approach of what to do.” Market sees fewer rate cuts Futures traders have been waffling in recent days on their expectations for what the Fed will do next. The market is pricing in about a coin-flip chance of another interest rate cut in December, after it being a near certainty a week ago, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch gauge. Pricing further out indicates the equivalent of three quarter percentage point reductions through the end of 2025, which also has come down significantly from prior expectations. Investors’ nerves have gotten jangled in recent days about the Fed’s intentions. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman on Wednesday noted that progress on inflation has “stalled,” an indication that she might continue to push for a slower pace of rate cuts. “All roads lead to tensions between the White House and the Fed,” said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM. “It won’t just be the White House. It will be Treasury, it’ll be Commerce and the Fed all intersecting.” Indeed, Trump is building a team of loyalists to implement his economic agenda, but much of the success depends on accommodative or at least accurate monetary policy that doesn’t push too hard to either boost or restrict growth. For the Fed, that is represented in the quest to find the “neutral” rate of interest, but for the new administration, it could mean something different. The struggle over where rates should be will create “political and policy tensions between the Federal Reserve and the White House that would clearly prefer lower rates,” Brusuelas said. “If one is going to impose tariffs, or mass deportations, you’re talking about restricting aggregate supply while simultaneously implementing deficit finance tax cuts, which is encouraging an increase in aggregate demand. You’ve got a basic inconsistency in your policy matrix,” he added. “There’s an inevitable crossroads that results in tensions between Trump and Powell.” Avoiding conflict To be sure, there are some factors that could mitigate the tensions. One is that Powell’s term as Fed chair expires in early 2026, so Trump may simply choose to ride it out until he can put someone in the chair more to his liking. There’s also little chance that the Fed would actually move to raise rates outside of some highly unexpected event that would push inflation much higher. Also, Trump’s policies will take a while to make their way through the system, so any impacts on inflation and macroeconomic growth likely won’t be readily apparent in the data, thus not necessitating a Fed response. There’s also the chance that the impacts might not be that much either way. “I expect higher inflation and slower growth. I think the tariffs and the deportations are negative supply shocks. They hurt growth and they lift inflation,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “The Fed will still cut interest rates next year, just perhaps not as quickly as would have otherwise been the case.” Battles with Trump, then, could be more of a headache for the next Fed chair, assuming Trump doesn’t reappoint Powell. “So I don’t think it’s going to be an issue in 2025,” Zandi said. “It could be an issue in 2026, because at that point, the rate cutting’s over and the Fed may be in a position where it certainly needs to start raising interest rates. Then that’s when it becomes an issue.”
