Investment Friday – AI Power Demands, Fed Dovish Shift, & Mortgage Rate Outlook with Brad Haines | 209
Description
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?
