In this episode, we dive into the most pressing global and U.S. economic developments that could shape the future. We discuss the recent U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates steady and what it means for inflation and borrowing costs. We also explore the volatile oil prices and their impact on everything from gasoline prices to your investment portfolio. Labor strikes across major industries are shaking up the economy, with Hollywood, auto workers, and hotel employees leading the charge for better wages and conditions. Additionally, we examine key trade policy negotiations, including the U.S.-Taiwan 21st Century Trade Initiative and the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, and how these could redefine global trade dynamics.
Tune in to get the latest updates and understand the broader implications of these critical issues.
