The Fed Isn't Cutting Rates: What It Means for You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Everyone has been waiting for rates to come down.
It has not happened. And on this week's Financial Commute, Chris Galeski and Chief Investment Officer Meghan Pinchuk explain why the Fed's new chair is holding firm, what energy prices and the war in Iran have to do with your portfolio, and why the national debt makes this moment more complicated than the headlines suggest.
They also get into the practical side: how to think about inflation as a slow tax on cash, why gold has held its value for over a century, and the one mistake a lot of people are quietly making right now.
If you have been making any financial decisions based on the assumption that rates are coming down soon, this one is worth a listen.
