The Fed held rates steady — again — and while that might not sound sexy, it triggered a deep dive into the uncomfortable parallels between today's economy and some of history's most turbulent wartime recessions. Chris and Saied unpack Powell's post-FOMC “dot plot shuffle,” exposing how forward guidance has become a PR game instead of a reliable economic compass. Spoiler: if you think shelter inflation is cooling fast, you're probably still using a 3G data plan.➡️ From Operation Iraqi Freedom to drone-led wars of tomorrow, the guys explore how conflict has become a recession trap — and not the kind that you wan to get stuck in. With unemployment lagging recession signals and AI creeping into defense strategy, the conversation gets heavy, insightful, and just the right amount of unhinged.

Jersey flies solo on this episode, discussing his takeaways from the June FOMC meeting, his view on the timing and pace of rate cuts and what it would mean for the Treasury yield curve.

One of the biggest questions we get asked is, "How can I compete with my competitor down the street who is offering the same unit as me but for 50% less?" Low intro rates are a strategy many large companies are using, but don't worry. You have options other than bottoming out your prices and losing money for the first several months of a rental. We examine target marketing and several "specials" that have proven effective at combatting the low intro rate strategy. This isn't the time for a "if you can't beat them, join them" approach. These strategies call for setting your business apart as a greater value and showing that it's worth paying a few dollars more in the long run. If you'd like to read more about target marketing, here's the link to the article we mentioned in the show - How Target Marketing Can Transform Your Self-Storage Business article from Inside Self-Storage If you'd like to listen to more about these strategies, we get into several of them on our recent webinar with Andrew Sherrard from Reliable Storage - Optimizing Occupancy Podcast with Andrew Sherrard Hosts: Josh Huff & Melissa Huff Produced by Lighthouse Storage Solutions

Think you're earning 5% on your savings? Not so fast. In the first rendition of the renewed podcast series, Jeremiah and Nic uncover the truth behind annual percentage yield (APY)—what it is, how it's calculated, and why it often misleads savers. From CD rates to high-yield savings accounts and dividend stocks, they break down the difference between annual percentage rate (APR) and APY, explain how monthly compounding works, and highlight the pitfalls of relying on introductory bank offers. But this episode goes deeper than just math. The duo challenges listeners to ask the right questions: Is this rate in my best interest—or someone else's? Is short-term security worth sacrificing long-term growth?   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Hosts: Jeremiah Bates & Nic Daniels

The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady at the end of its two-day meeting this week, despite political pressure to make cuts. The Fed last lowered interest rates in December, bringing its benchmark short-term rate to a range of 4.25% to 4.5%. Since then, the central bank has kept rates flat amid uncertainty on how tariffs will impact inflation and the economy. If rates remain unchanged Wednesday, it would be the Fed's fourth consecutive meeting without cuts.#fedmeeting #federalreserve #bitcoin~Fed Meeting LIVE

Policymakers voted unanimously to hold interest rates steady for a fourth straight meeting Wednesday as they await clarity on whether tariffs will leave a one-time or more lasting mark on inflation. Powell said it’s still unclear how much of the bill will fall on the shoulders of consumers, but he expects to learn more about tariffs this summer.

Ian Lyngen and Ben Jeffery bring you their thoughts on the U.S. Rates market for the upcoming week of June 23rd, 2025, and respond to questions submitted by listeners and clients.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday declined to answer reporters' questions on whether the U.S. was planning to strike Iran or its nuclear facilities, and said the Iranians had reached out but he feels "it's very late to be talking."Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has warned that the United States would face “irreparable harm” if the U.S. military were to join Israel's attacks on Iranian targets and rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's call for Iran's “unconditional surrender.” The statement follows a post by Trump on Truth Social saying the United States knows exactly where Khamenei is hiding and that he'd be an easy target—but that he's safe for now.The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday as its policymakers assess signs of a cooling economy, the risk of higher inflation from U.S. import tariffs, and the escalating crisis in the Middle East. The current benchmark interest rate was set at the 4.25 percent to 4.5 percent range in December.

Markets digest the Fed's latest signals after keeping rates unchanged with David Zervos of Jefferies and former Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker. Our Eamon Javers reports on the latest from the Middle East, while Sassan Ghahramani of SGH Macro Advisors assesses how geopolitical risk is being priced. Mat Ishbia, UWM CEO, weighs in on the mortgage and rate outlook. Barbara Doran of BD8 Capital joins with her take on positioning for the back half of the year.

John Lekas and Joseph Shaposhnik preview today's FOMC decision. John thinks they're in “no position to lower rates” because of the inflationary environment. He thinks the Fed will raise rates before they lower them, and that they wouldn't move down until unemployment hit at least 5%. Joseph argues against that view, saying the Fed will be “laser-focused” on slipping CPI data.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Tom White and Nicole Petallides react to the FOMC decision to keep rates unchanged. Tom points out the committee's omission of a line regarding risks of higher unemployment and inflation. The FOMC did say "uncertainty about the economic outlook has diminished but remains elevated." Tom discusses the Fed's "dot plot" as the CME FedWatch tool reveals increased odds of a cut in the September meeting.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
