This week, we're talking about an economy that's sending mixed signals. Inflation isn't accelerating, but it's proving stubborn, while economic growth is slowing enough to get attention without flashing recession warnings. We'll also dive into why the bond market remains in focus, what Nvidia's latest blockbuster earnings say about investor expectations, and how a new U.S. Canada trade dispute could ripple through the economy.  Plus, we discuss if the "4% rule" in retirement is still a smart strategy and knowing the limits and advantages of gifting money.

Tom Parks and Dr. Brian Jacobsen unpack the Fed’s latest rate hike, explain why inflation still isn’t passing the sniff test, and discuss what rising long-term interest rates mean for investors. They break down surprisingly strong U.S. economic data, from hot retail sales to business spending, while contrasting it with China’s ongoing economic struggles. The conversation also explores how oil market disruptions, global geopolitics, and policy uncertainty could shape markets in the months ahead.  Plus, segments on entering the 'Retirement Red Zone' and how the younger generation is looking at investing.

Markets got a wake-up call this week as investors rapidly repriced Federal Reserve expectations following Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole remarks, sending Treasury yields to their highest levels since early 2025 and reigniting the debate over whether the Fed could actually tighten into an energy-driven inflation shock. Meanwhile, the labor market continues to flash "no-hire, no-fire" signals, with weak hiring and low quit rates contrasting against still-solid jobless claims and a resilient economy.  We also discuss financial ways to plan for a wedding, and smart ways to use a solid portfolio.
