In the first hour of today’s episode of Money Matters, Wes Moss and Christa DiBiase begin by diving into the current state of inflation. They discuss what a tightrope walk it can be to encourage economic growth without too many inflation risks and how the Federal Reserve tries to use rate hikes to find a balance. They explore what the housing market’s ongoing supply issues and the tariff situation with China might mean for consumer prices. Finally, they outline how geopolitical tensions could affect the broader financial landscape. Jeff Lloyd joins Wes in the next hour to examine different investment strategies. They run through the criteria that make an asset truly investable and which categories check those boxes more often than others. They wrap up by questioning the investment potential of cryptocurrencies and reinforce the idea that an asset must meet certain standards to be considered "investable."
