Description

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

1 - It was a relatively quiet news week, but the stock market hit a new all-time high for the second week in a row, as tech stocks rallied with the softening of mid-term interest rates

2 - The tech rally was fueled by interest rates softening - just a smidge… but it was also enough to drop mortgage rates for the first time in 2 months.

And 3 - Friday we got the March Producer Price Index which shows prices for final demand goods and services are up significantly. What does that mean for inflation concerns?


… after that, we will take a deep dive into what drives the stock market. As the stock market continues to reach new heights week after week, in the face of inflation concerns and a predicted but not yet materialized economic recovery, many of you have asked if this is a market bubble and if and when we are headed for a market crash. I’ll talk a walk through some stock market history and the 5 major factors that drive the stock market to help explain where the market is today… and where it may be going.
