Description

This week, I’ve got 3 major financial headlines for you…

1 - It was a short week for the markets, but the stock market hit a new all-time high Thursday, while bond yields rallied on their short-trading day Friday. How is the market navigating between recovery hopes and inflation concerns?

2 - Friday, the department of labor released the March Employment Situation. What does it tell us about the labor market recovery?

And 3 - the biggest news of last week - President Biden’s unveiling of the $2.3 trillion American Jobs Plan.


… after that, we will take a deep dive into what makes up GDP. To really understand how the economy works, you’ve got to understand all its moving parts. And since we measure our economy by GDP, what is it actually measuring? What are the components of GDP? How do things like increases in government spending impact other segments like private investment? And what really drives the economy overall?
