Three straight weeks of gains. Jobs softened, inflation stayed contained, and the September rate hike that was looking increasingly likely a few weeks ago has become increasingly unlikely. CoreWeave reported a $104 billion backlog — signed contracts for AI computing capacity that proves the demand is real.
And small business confidence hit its highest level in nearly a year.
Matt and Garrett break down the week's data and what it means for the rate outlook — then head into a Planning Room that's a genuine celebration of small business in America. What it looks like, why it matters, and the financial building blocks every owner needs. They know this topic from the inside — Momentum Wealth is a small business too.
