When uncertainty intensifies—at home and abroad—what should investors actually do?

From rising bond yields to tariffs that still haven't taken effect, and a fast-approaching storm in the Middle East, this episode offers a grounded, clear-eyed perspective for investors who want to stay informed without spiraling into panic.

After a two-week hiatus due to her cross-country move, host Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC® is back with Brad Haines, CIO of Juncture Wealth Strategies, for a far-reaching Investment Friday episode. They break down major developments in trade policy, global tensions, and market behavior—and what all of it means for your financial future.

• Why haven't Trump's proposed tariffs taken effect yet—and how is that impacting the economy?

• What does the recent spike in bond yields mean for investors and inflation expectations?

• How might ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran affect global markets and oil prices?

• Is the Federal Reserve likely to cut interest rates before the election—and what role is politics playing?

• Why is now a smart time for investors to rebalance their portfolios, especially in equities?

• What lessons can we draw from past geopolitical conflicts when it comes to investing through uncertainty?
