Boomers Economics Part 2 #338

Hello Baby Boomers and Welcome to Part 2 of the 338th episode of Boomers Know Stuff and Boomers Share Stuff

This is what everyone has been waiting for: The Economic Week In Review

Where we discuss what may have moved the markets and strategies to use.

This is not financial advice.

For the week ending April 17th.

This week, stocks surged as investors bet the worst of the war-related energy shock might be avoided, but beneath the rally the real economy kept flashing warnings about inflation, fuel, and infrastructure strain. We’ll break down what that means for your money, your car choices, your utility bills, and the market signals Baby Boomers should actually pay attention to.

• Markets rally on easing war fears
• Inflation pipeline: what the Producer Price Index means
• The cost of war: oil, flights, and rate pressure
• Artificial intelligence becomes a power-grid story
• Electric vehicles, hybrids, and what really makes sense now
• Meta, Google, and the changing digital economy
• Charles Schwab and the mainstreaming of crypto access
• PepsiCo and what stressed consumers are still buying
