Markets climbing, jobs revising, and prices rising—this week’s episode of The Personal Wealth Coach is loaded with more twists than a Wall Street chart. Jake breaks down the latest on the S&P 500, bond yields, oil, and an avalanche of fresh data: CPI, PPI, job revisions, unemployment claims, and inflation’s stubborn grip on everyday costs. Along the way, we look at trucking companies shutting down, tariff whiplash, and why lumber, steel, and even bananas are caught in the economic cross...
Markets climbing, jobs revising, and prices rising—this week’s episode of The Personal Wealth Coach is loaded with more twists than a Wall Street chart. Jake breaks down the latest on the S&P 500, bond yields, oil, and an avalanche of fresh data: CPI, PPI, job revisions, unemployment claims, and inflation’s stubborn grip on everyday costs. Along the way, we look at trucking companies shutting down, tariff whiplash, and why lumber, steel, and even bananas are caught in the economic crossfire.
It’s a classic double-stuffed poop sandwich: a heavy serving of bad news in the middle, wrapped in just enough good bread to keep you coming back for another bite. From rising rents and wage stagnation to whispers of stagflation, the outlook isn’t pretty—but there’s a bright side. Innovation is booming, from small-scale manufacturing to breakthroughs in healthcare and AI, offering real potential for growth even as the data looks grim.
Equal parts insight, data, and dry humor, this episode shows how all the pieces fit together and why today’s turbulence might just set the stage for tomorrow’s opportunities.
