Mortgage rates last week reached their highest levels since July 2024 with the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate staying above 7%, according to Bankrate. Experts see rates remaining elevated through the first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42934513/job-growth-fed-jitters-and-rising-mortgage-rates-this-week-in-economics">six months of 2025</a>.&nbsp;
The Details: Mortgage rates have climbed higher following recent economic data which has dampened Wall Street's expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut rates in the near future and caused 10-year Treasury yields to surge.&nbsp;

Mortgage applications are down as high interest rates continue to deter potential homebuyers. According to the most<a href="https://www.mba.org/news-and-research/newsroom/news/2025/01/08/mortgage-applications-decrease-in-latest-mba-weekly-survey"> recent data</a> from the Mortgage Bankers Association's Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey, mortgage applications decreased 3.7% last week.&nbsp;
"Applications decreased last week as rising mortgage rates continued to discourage buyers from entering the market and put a damper on purchase activity. The 30-year fixed rate increased for the fourth consecutive week, reaching 6.99 percent — the highest rate since July 2024," said Joel Kan, MBA's vice president and deputy chief economist.
What To Expect: Zillow expects <a href="https://www.zillow.com/research/2025-housing-predictions-34620/">more home sales</a> and modest home value growth of 2.6% in 2025 as the market "slowly becomes unstuck." Zillow forecasts 4.3 million existing home sales in 2025, up slightly from 4.1 million in 2023 and a projected 4 million in 2024. 
But, most experts see mortgage rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42764583/mortgage-rates-soar-to-697-applications-crash-jobless-claims-fall-thursdays-econ-data">remaining close</a> to the 7% level in the near term as markets digest uncertainty about the incoming Trump administration's policies which some think could reignite inflation.&nbsp;
"As for whether or not we&#8217;ll see recalibration over the next few weeks, that depends on what the president-elect says and what he does when he actually takes office,&#8221; said Jacob Channel, senior economist at LendingTree as <a href="https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/mortgage-predictions-for-week-of-jan-13-19-everything-to-know-about-rates/">reported by</a> CNET.&nbsp;

The relief fund will help families who lost their homes and go to churches and community centers to help in the relief efforts.
Paris Hilton, who lost her Malibu beach house in the fires, launched an emergency fund through her 11:11 Media nonprofit for the relief efforts. The fund started with Hilton's initial contribution of $100,000 and she is matching up to $100,000 in additional donations made.

Sports World Reacts: One of the biggest impacts of the California wildfires on the sporting world will be on full display Monday night with the NFL Playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings moved from Los Angeles to Arizona.

The Rams will lose its home-field advantage and now take on the Vikings in a neutral location. The Vikings who were early favorites for the game saw their odds improve from -1 to -2.5 at sportsbooks like DraftKings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DKNG#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) after the venue change was announced.
ESPN and ABC, units of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), will air Monday's game at 8 p.m. ET. The wildfires will likely be a big storyline discussed before and during the game and the Rams could see some extra fans rooting for them given the situation in California.
The NFL is <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-family-contributes-5-million-to-los-angeles-wildfire-relief-efforts">donating </a>over $5 million to the wildfire relief efforts, gathering donations from clubs and ownership groups.

Fanatics also launched "LA Strong" shirts to benefit the American Red Cross and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Celsius Holdings Stock In The Last 10 Years

"My first legal joint burned like hell. It was hot, the material was dried out, and it canoed," recalls Kyle Loucks, founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rollpros">RollPros</a>, as he describes the experience that led to his work in the cannabis pre-roll space. For Loucks, that moment wasn't just a personal disappointment, it brought a major realization. What was supposed to be a magical milestone, celebrating legalization and quality craftsmanship, turned into an encounter with a product that fell far short of expectations. Instead of moving on, Loucks decided to do something about it.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Problem With Pre-Rolls: A Connoisseur&#8217;s Perspective</h3>
Loucks&#8217; first pre-roll was meant to be a celebration, a symbol of how far the industry had come. Instead, it exposed a persistent problem in the market. "I saw a problem," he says. "This is not my level of joint." For someone who had spent more than 20 years perfecting the art of rolling by hand, encountering such a poorly made product sparked an idea. Retreating to his garage, Loucks began working on a solution that could deliver consistent, high-quality joints at scale.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152502/RollPros-Blackbird_1-1024x683.jpg" alt="RollPros Blackbird" class="wp-image-731271" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152502/RollPros-Blackbird_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152502/RollPros-Blackbird_1-300x200.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152502/RollPros-Blackbird_1-768x512.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152502/RollPros-Blackbird_1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152502/RollPros-Blackbird_1.jpg 1619w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
At the core of his solution is TruRoll technology, a proprietary system that flips the traditional cone-filling process on its side—literally. "We feed horizontally, so you can fill fresh, sticky weed with a big grind size. Then we roll it and tighten it as we go. It's just a better way to make a joint," Loucks explains.
The horizontal feeding approach addresses a common challenge with cones: their narrow aperture, which often leads to uneven packing and airflow issues. By rethinking the mechanics of rolling, Loucks developed a system that preserves the integrity of fresh flower while ensuring a consistent burn. His invention appeals not just to craft growers but also to larger operators looking for efficiency without sacrificing quality.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Craft Meets Automation</h3>
RollPros&#8217; flagship product, the Blackbird Rolling System, is designed for cannabis enthusiasts who value both precision and consistency. It combines Loucks' hands-on experience with advanced automation to replicate the quality of hand-rolled joints on an industrial scale. "We've done over 80 million joints now and have about 160 machines out in the wild," Loucks shares, highlighting the growing demand for his technology.
The Blackbird's design focuses on preserving what makes a joint special. "I selfishly designed it for myself," Loucks says, emphasizing his personal standards as a cannabis connoisseur who values fresh flower and optimal burn quality. "I like a large grind size to keep all those flavonoids and terpenes on the plant," he adds. To complement this, RollPros sources high-quality paper from one of the oldest paper mills in France, ensuring an even, smooth burn.
Beyond quality, the Blackbird is also about flexibility. Operators can customize nearly every aspect of the rolling process, from density and draw resistance to the type of filter or paper used. "You can do big fatties, little pinners, ceramic tips, glass tips, wood tips—it's all customizable," Loucks explains. The machine's adaptability allows brands to tailor their products to meet the specific preferences of their customers, creating a unique identity in a competitive market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Meeting The Needs Of Craft Growers And Beyond</h3>
For Loucks, the design of the Blackbird Rolling System was always rooted in serving the craft cannabis community, those who value quality and freshness over mass production. "It's really tailored for the craft grower," he explains. Inspired by the dedication of phenohunters and small-scale cultivators in places like the Emerald Triangle, Loucks wanted to create a tool that could seamlessly integrate into these operations while maintaining the standards of hand-rolled joints.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152511/Kyle-Loucks_Founder-and-CEO-RollPros-1024x683.jpg" alt="Kyle Loucks" class="wp-image-731274" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152511/Kyle-Loucks_Founder-and-CEO-RollPros-1024x683.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152511/Kyle-Loucks_Founder-and-CEO-RollPros-300x200.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152511/Kyle-Loucks_Founder-and-CEO-RollPros-768x512.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152511/Kyle-Loucks_Founder-and-CEO-RollPros-1536x1025.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152511/Kyle-Loucks_Founder-and-CEO-RollPros.jpg 1619w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The Blackbird's compact size makes it an ideal fit for such setups. Measuring approximately four feet by two feet and standing about four feet tall, it's no larger than two college refrigerators placed side by side. "It's on casters, so you can roll it from room to room," Loucks adds.
However, the machine's utility doesn't stop at the craft level. The Blackbird has also gained traction among larger players in the cannabis industry, including multi-state operators (MSOs) looking for efficient and scalable solutions. "We've got all the way up to the big MSOs using our equipment," Loucks shares. "It's great to see the big guys starting to look at us and being like, ‘This is how you make a quality consumer experience.'"
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Investment And ROI Equation</h3>
Of course, innovation comes at a price. The Blackbird Rolling System is an investment, with a starting cost of approximately $250,000. For some operators, that might seem like a steep entry point, but Loucks points out that the machine's scalability and potential for high-volume output can make it a cost-effective choice in the long run. With the ability to produce roughly 900 joints per hour, the system can quickly pay for itself in the right hands.
Loucks recounts the story of a particularly resourceful customer who purchased a Blackbird and turned it into a mobile rolling service. "He had it in a trailer and would roll it onto farms to offer rolling as a service. Then he'd pack it back up and head to the next place," Loucks explains. This entrepreneurial approach not only provided immediate value to local growers but also allowed the customer to recoup his investment faster than expected.
For operators who may not have the upfront capital, RollPros offers leasing options to make the technology more accessible. This flexibility ensures that craft growers and boutique operations can still benefit from the Blackbird's capabilities without being priced out of the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond Rolling: The Future Of Cannabis Innovation</h3>
While the Blackbird Rolling System has carved out a niche for itself in the cannabis pre-roll market, Loucks is already looking ahead to the next set of challenges facing the industry. "I think packaging is next," he says, pointing to sustainability as a critical area for improvement. The current options for pre-roll packaging often rely on single-use plastics or other environmentally unfriendly materials, a problem Loucks believes can be addressed with the same innovative mindset that brought TruRoll technology to life. "I want to find some more sustainable options for packaging, but I've got to do it with the same level of innovation that I did with the Blackbird."
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152507/Blackbird-Rolled-Joints_1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-731273" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152507/Blackbird-Rolled-Joints_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152507/Blackbird-Rolled-Joints_1-300x200.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152507/Blackbird-Rolled-Joints_1-768x512.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152507/Blackbird-Rolled-Joints_1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/13152507/Blackbird-Rolled-Joints_1.jpg 1619w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Loucks' approach to problem-solving is rooted in collaboration. "I love to brainstorm," he shares. "Hit me up on LinkedIn, let's do a Zoom, I'll get the whiteboard out—tell me your problem." For Loucks, innovation doesn't happen in isolation. By inviting growers, operators and other industry professionals to share their pain points, he aims to create solutions that are not just technically sound but deeply aligned with the needs of the cannabis community.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Crafting A Ritual, One Joint At A Time</h3>
Despite the technological sophistication of the Blackbird, Loucks is quick to acknowledge the irreplaceable value of the human touch in cannabis culture. For many enthusiasts, rolling a joint is as much about the ritual as it is about the final product. Loucks, a self-described "ritual guy," understands this intimately. "Rolling a joint is like making espresso," he says. "It's about the smell, the feel, the whole experience."
This perspective is woven into the very fabric of RollPros. While the Blackbird enables consistent, high-quality production at scale, it doesn't seek to replace the craft of rolling by hand. Instead, it provides a tool for those who want to take their craft to the next level, blending tradition with innovation. "The people that are really successful with our machine are joint rollers and joint smokers," Loucks explains. "They know what a good joint feels like, and they can dial in the machine to hit all those same parameters."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Growing Legacy</h3>
With more than 80 million joints produced and a growing roster of customers ranging from boutique craft growers to large-scale MSOs, RollPros is becoming a cornerstone of the cannabis pre-roll industry. Loucks credits much of this success to his ability to remain connected to the community he serves. Whether through brainstorming sessions, hands-on product development or simply sharing his passion for well-rolled joints, Loucks keeps his focus on the people who make the cannabis industry what it is.
As he reflects on his journey, Loucks remains energized by the challenges that lie ahead. "There are big problems all across the industry," he says. "And I'm here to help solve them."

Comstock Holding Signs Three New Retail Leases At Loudoun Station

A federal judge in Florida has paved the way for the release of Special Counsel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jack-smith">Jack Smith's</a> final report on his inquiry into President-elect Donald Trump and charges alleging election interference. The report could be made public as early as Tuesday.
In the Monday announcement, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/01/13/jack-smith-report-trump-cannon-garland-jan-6/">reported</a> by the Washington Post, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon authorized the Justice Department to release the first volume of Smith&#8217;s report. This decision follows her earlier temporary block on the report&#8217;s release, pending an appeals court ruling.
Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, denied motions from Trump&#8217;s former co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who sought to prevent the report&#8217;s publication.
The Justice Department (DOJ) plans to release the first volume, focusing on the election interference investigation. Cannon said the government could not — to avoid impacting ongoing cases — release a separate volume that details Smith's investigation into Trump's obstruction over the mishandling of classified documents, which he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/08/28484168/top-secret-classified-documents-recovered-from-trumps-mar-a-lago-home-heres-what-you-need-to-know">took to his Florida Mar-a-Lago residence</a> and refused to hand over to the FBI.
Smith, who led the investigations, resigned from the DOJ on Jan. 10 after submitting his final report. The DOJ&#8217;s decision to release the report comes after dropping federal cases against Trump, citing policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s legal team has argued that the special counsel&#8217;s appointment was unlawful and that releasing the report could harm his transition into the White House. They may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to block the report&#8217;s release.
In that Trump takes office next Monday, Jan. 20, time is running out for Garland to release any part of the report.
The DOJ has been fighting in court about whether it's permitted to publicly release Smith's final report about his cases against Trump. Such a report is an obligatory part of the special counsel&#8217;s work and could be the last opportunity for prosecutors to explain their decisions after they dropped the federal cases against Trump following his election victory in November.&nbsp;
The Washington Post noted that over the weekend, Trump's co-defendants had asked Cannon to extend that embargo and keep Smith's report permanently under wraps.
Justice Department lawyers appealed to the 11th Circuit seeking the green light for an earlier release, maintaining that nothing in the report would interfere with Nauta and De Oliveira's rights.

Trump-Appointed Federal Judge Greenlights Jan 6. Report: Could Be Made Public As Early As Tuesday

The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle and streaming partner Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) are delaying the launch of a new cooking reality show from January to March due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42888380/los-angeles-fires-shut-down-production-of-tv-shows-fallout-abbott-elementary-hacks-film-premieres-canceled-critics-choice-awards-delayed">the California wildfires.</a>
What Happened: The new series titled "With Love, Meghan" featuring the Duchess of Sussex cooking, gardening and decorating is one of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38237862/meghan-markle-prince-harry-line-up-new-projects-with-netflix-heres-what-the-shows-are-about"> several projects between</a> Netflix and the actress.
Originally set for a January 15 premiere, viewers will now have to wait until March 4 to watch the reality series.
"I'm thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California," Markle <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/with-love-meghan-season-1-release-date-news?utm_source=mediacenter">said</a>.
The eight-episode series features Meghan with friends and other special guests including Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling and Alice Waters. Markle's husband Prince Harry is also reported to have been featured in at least one of the episodes.
"Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection, and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected. She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same," Netflix said of the series.
The series was shot in Montecito, California.

Why It's Important: The delay of the Markle reality show on Netflix comes as the wildfires have impacted the entertainment industry and left several celebrities without their Los Angeles area homes.
Several movies that premiered in theaters or will soon premiere were forced to cancel their Los Angeles premieres last week due to the wildfires.
Television shows also saw the shutdown of production studios, which could delay the timing of episode releases in the future.
The timing of television shows on network and streaming and movies could see delays in their releases and Los Angeles premiere events.
