What many investors feared actually happened this week. New economic data rolled around that bashed all hopes for a rate cut this summer. 

First off, GDP growth slackened to just 1.6% in Q1. To compare, this number is less than half of the 3.4% growth the final quarter of 2023 saw.

And then we got the U.S. Core PCE Price Index, which spiked from 2% to 3.7% and was above the 3.4% estimates. 

Bottom line, inflation is on the rise and economic growth is cooling. This means that any hopes that investors had for a rate cut this summer have been further postponed to September — at the earliest.

While the market naturally took a nosedive in reaction to the news earlier this week, there was some good news on Friday. The Nasdaq surged 2% on strong tech earnings, while the S&P 500 advanced 1.1% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 110, or 0.3%.   

On top of that, you have our Weiss Ratings experts’ research and analysis to help you safely navigate these rough waters. Plus, they’ll even help you find those opportunities that most investors aren’t even aware of. In fact, here’s this week’s new batch of research and opportunities …

Keep Safe & Profitable with AI

Chris Graebe realizes there’s always a darker side to new tech — and AI is no exception.
