As investors look beyond Middle East tensions, U.S. economic fundamentals are coming into sharper focus, driven by an accelerating AI investment and robust corporate profit growth, reinforcing the constructive case for equities. However, elevated inflation may keep rate cuts off the table and limit near-term progress in bond markets.

Senior Economist James McCann explains what this could mean for investors in our Weekly Market Wrap.

PSA: Four reasons a 529 plan might make sense for your family

Whether your child is going to college or has other plans, here are four reasons to consider a 529 education savings plan.

First are tax advantages. Earnings grow federally tax-free, and many states offer tax deductions on contributions.

Second is the flexibility beyond college. You can use 529 funds for vocational programs, apprenticeships and even K-12 school tuition up to $20,000 yearly.

Third is the range of qualified expenses. Beyond tuition, use 529 funds on books, computers, and eligible room and board. And now, with recent law changes, you can even cover certain testing fees, as well as some tutoring and education therapies.

Finally, you have options if your plans change. You can transfer the account to another family member, pay up to $10,000 in student loans or roll funds into a Roth IRA (subject to certain limits and criteria).

Maybe it's time for your family to consider a 529 plan.

Talk to a financial advisor to see if it can support your family's future needs.

PSA: Help your graduate use credit and debit cards wisely

As your new graduate prepares to step into the next chapter of life – whether that's more education or starting a career – one of the best things you can do is help them understand how to use credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards wisely.

Credit cards build credit history and earn rewards, but come with risks. If your graduate doesn't pay the full balance monthly, interest adds up fast. Teach them to pay off balances monthly and on time.

Debit cards draw directly from their bank account, naturally limiting overspending. However, they can trigger overdraft fees and don't help build credit.

Prepaid cards let them load money first and spend only what's available. There's no debt risk, but these cards typically don't build credit and may come with fees.

Each card serves a different purpose. Help your graduate understand the difference and develop good financial habits now. It's an investment in their financial confidence for decades to come.

PSA: Saving for Retirement: Are You Guessing or Planning?

How much do you need to save for retirement? Rather than picking a number out of thin air, $1 million for example, find a number that will actually support the lifestyle you envision.

Begin by imagining your daily routine: Where are you living? Are you still in your current home? Will you travel more, or help family financially? Once you visualize it, you can estimate what that lifestyle will cost and start building toward it.

Here are five tips to get the building started:

One: Start saving as early as you can. Even small amounts can grow significantly over decades.

Two: Live below your means.

Three: Keep your debt under control and pay down high interest debt that slows your progress.

Four: Invest consistently and increase your saving when your income rises.

And five: Look for chances to boost your income, perhaps through new skills or side work.

The planning you do today determines the retirement you'll live tomorrow.
