What happens when the Federal Reserve hints at rate cuts, mortgage rates hover near 7%, and AI data centers begin straining America's power grid?
In this week's Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, and CIO of Juncture Wealth Strategies, unpack the economic signals that are moving markets — and what they mean for investors.
