Description

This week on Finance Explained I’ve got 3 major financial headlines for you: 
How market performance continues to be bifurcated - with the S&P 500 closing at a new all-time high on Friday, while the Nasdaq continues to trail 
The February CPI report - what does it say about how fast prices are rising? 
The $1.9 Trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 is officially law now. What happens next? 
… and after that, we will take a deep dive into interest rates, since the rapid rise of long-term interest rates is driving broader market performance and inflation concerns.
