Summary

In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell dive deep into the economic landscape following the government reopening. They break down what the latest (and long-delayed) data tells us about inflation, unemployment, rate-cut probabilities, market psychology, crypto volatility, and the evolving dynamics of the housing market—including portable mortgages, 50-year loans, and the changing profile of the post-COVID consumer.

From government dysfunction to AI’s impact on job openings, distressed CRE, stock-market forecasts, crypto fear cycles, and the staggering amount of cash sitting on the sidelines, this episode is packed with real-world, data-driven insight to help investors navigate uncertain times with clarity and confidence.
