Join us for the second episode of our YouTube livestream series, AAII Market Update, where we break down the events that actually move your portfolio, from Federal Reserve decisions and inflation data to major earnings releases.
No jargon. No hype. Just unbiased insights from the investing organization you’ve trusted for more than four decades.
We’ll explain what’s happening, why it matters and how to use that information to make more confident investing decisions.
Learn what the 2026 Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation data signal about the Fed’s next moves, and understand how Nvidia’s earnings reflect broader trends in the market.
