In this week’s episode, Jay Peroni, CFP dives into the current economic landscape of 2025, which has seen significant market volatility and uncertainty. The first quarter marked the worst performance for U.S. stocks since 2022, with over $5 trillion in losses. Despite inflation easing, job creation slowed, and concerns over potential recession persist.
