What happens when the Federal Reserve hints at rate cuts, mortgage rates hover near 7%, and AI data centers begin straining America's power grid?

In this week's Investment Friday, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, and Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, and CIO of Juncture Wealth Strategies, unpack the economic signals that are moving markets — and what they mean for investors.

From Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech to small-cap stock rallies, rising utility bills, and the looming question of whether AI is a bubble bigger than the dot-com era, Hannah and Brad bring clarity to a noisy news cycle.

• Why did markets rally after Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech?

• How do bond prices and yields really work — and what do they mean for mortgages?

• Will homeowners be able to refinance at lower rates in the next 12–18 months?

• How are AI data centers reshaping electricity demand, utility pricing, and private equity investment?

• Could AI be a bigger bubble than the dot-com era — or is it the next “Goldilocks” growth phase?

• What adjacent industries might benefit most from the AI infrastructure boom?
