Rising rates have grabbed headlines, but they're only one inning in a much longer game. Easing inflation, healthy consumer spending and growing corporate profits point to an economy that remains on solid footing.

Bond yields recently climbed to their highest levels in decades as investors weighed sticky inflation, booming AI investment and robust economic growth. In this evolving environment, higher interest rates are creating new opportunities in fixed income while shifting market leadership across equities.

The Fed raised interest rates for the first time in three years, as widely expected. While the announcement prompted an initial market reaction, resilient economic growth, strong corporate earnings and continued consumer spending could help support equities, even if interest rates move somewhat higher. Meanwhile, higher short-term bond yields may create new opportunities for investors seeking income.

Many people assume financial confidence comes with age. In my experience, it's not quite that simple.

New research from Edward Jones and Gallup shows that people across generations share concerns about their financial future. Younger adults are often working to build wealth, while older adults are focused on making their savings last. But both are looking for greater peace of mind about what's ahead.

That's one reason I enjoy helping clients create personalized strategies that align with their goals and priorities, both today and as their needs evolve over time.

Older adults are much more confident than younger adults in managing their current finances. Confidence in managing future finances, however, differs less by age.

Last week, I had the honor of joining several fellow advisors as a sponsor of this year’s Care to Learn Back-to-School Soirée. The evening was a tremendous success, with record-breaking funds raised to help provide essential health, hunger, and hygiene resources for children in our local school districts. If you aren't familiar with Care To Learn and their mission, look them up. They are such a worthy organization.

Rising oil prices and a hotter-than-expected CPI report have strengthened expectations for potential Fed rate hikes as we head into what is likely to be the year's most closely watched Federal Reserve meeting.

A few years ago, our team traveled to New York and while in the city, we visited the World Trade Center Memorial. It is a beautiful place for reflection and remembrance, honoring those lost on that day. Even 25 years later, the memories remain, and we will never forget.

I'm encouraged to see that Gen Z is already thinking about building long-term financial security. Yet research shows many young adults still haven't taken the first step by participating in a workplace retirement plan.

As a financial advisor, I know that getting started can often be the hardest part of saving and investing. Having access to the right resources, education and guidance can help individuals build healthy financial habits and greater confidence in their future.

That's why I find it so rewarding to help people make progress toward their goals, so they can feel more confident about their future.
