Weekly Market Insights December 23 - 27, 2024

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake is a little stumbly to start us out during our last podcast of 2024. As you may have guessed, we start this week’s podcast out with an update on this week’s three-and-a-half-day market. For some reason, the days between Christmas and New Year tend to have very little economic news to report on so, Jake goes on to do a bit of 2024 comparison between the U.S. and other parts of the world. As you’ve heard for the last many weeks, the U.S. is doing well but what do we need to look out for going into the future that could change that? Jake spends a bit of time talking about a large shift in manufacturing that is happening. To wrap up the final podcast of 2024, Jake decides to talk about homelessness. The good news, the bad news, and the news you probably haven’t heard about. This episode was recorded on December 27th, 2024.
