New episode of the Main Street Money podcast is live.

This week was one of the most consequential stretches of 2026 so far. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq pushed to record highs, even as the Federal Reserve held rates steady in a sharply divided 8–4 vote. Jerome Powell delivered his final press conference as Fed Chair, inflation came in hotter than expected, and Q1 GDP showed modest recovery but signs of strain beneath the surface.

We break down what is really driving markets right now, including:

• Why stocks are climbing despite “higher for longer” interest rates
• What the Fed’s rare internal split signals about future policy
• The latest on inflation, consumer spending, and savings trends
• Big Tech earnings and the massive surge in AI investment

• Key risks investors may be underestimating

The takeaway: markets continue to look forward, not backward. Strong earnings and optimism are pushing equities higher, even in the face of inflation, geopolitical tension, and policy uncertainty.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to invest, this week is a reminder of how quickly markets can move.

Markets are moving fast, and this week gave us plenty to talk about.

In the latest episode of the Main Street Money podcast, we break down a volatile week where the Dow surged 1,300 points on ceasefire optimism, only to be met with the hottest inflation reading in nearly two years.

With CPI coming in at 3.3% and gas prices jumping sharply, markets are being pulled in multiple directions.

We also dive into a stronger-than-expected jobs report, what’s driving more people back into the workforce, and what it could mean for the broader economy.

Here’s what we’re unpacking in this episode:

-Why markets reacted the way they did to inflation data

-How geopolitical tensions and oil prices are influencing volatility

-What rising interest rates mean for savers versus borrowers

-Why earnings season may matter more than the headlines

-Key risks investors should be watching in the weeks ahead
