Summary
The Standoff Continues This week’s episode sharpens the focus on major, politically driven developments, from the SEC’s push to rethink decades-old reporting rules to the high-stakes uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. Dave Spano and Dr. Brian Jacobsen unpack key economic signals, including tighter bank lending standards and what they reveal about business confidence and credit conditions. And on Main Street, we connect the dots of rising costs, housing affordability challenges, war-driven hesitation in spending, and a deeper question lingering beneath it all: why retirement confidence is starting to slip.
