Delayed Metrics, Market Volatility, and the AI Innovation Cycle | Investment Friday 231

This week's Investment Friday brings clarity to one of the most confusing economic moments we've had all year.

In this episode, Hannah Chapman CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM and Chief Investment Officer of Juncture Wealth Strategies explore how delayed economic data, shifting interest rate expectations, and rising consumer stress all feed into today's market environment.
