There's still no meaningful evidence that tariffs are driving up inflation. I don't expect that to change. We may even see rate cuts later this year, as hinted by Fed Chair Jerome Powell. 📉 Markets React to Tragedy in India The markets are down this week following the catastrophic crash of a Boeing 787 in India. Tragically, there were no survivors. Please keep the victims and their families in your prayers during this heartbreaking time. Global Flashpoints 🇺🇦 Ukraine + 🇮🇷 Iran = Global Market Risk Ukraine continues to destabilize the region. This week, they successfully used drones to destroy Russian bombs—impressive, but it also highlights how close we are to broader conflict. Markets could react violently if the situation escalates. Iran remains a major wildcard. Diplomatic efforts to halt their nuclear program are likely to fall short. If the U.S. or Israel takes military action, expect energy prices to spike and markets to get rocky. Let's pray for the diplomats trying to hold the line—but also prepare for potential conflict. In uncertain times, both vigilance and readiness are key. Stay Connected Have a financial question? Reach out directly: [email protected] Follow along on Twitter (X): @skibucks1
