The Pete the Planner® Show

Navigating Now: Volatility can take your breath away


Listen Later

The stock market has been unpredictable lately—and the same can be said for your grocery bill. In this episode, we explain what’s behind all this volatility and how it’s tied to the real economy and your real life.

We focus on two key themes:

  1. Market volatility – Why the market reacts so sharply to uncertainty, and what causes these swings in the first place.
  2. Supply chain disruptions – How current events, including new tariffs and global tensions, are making everyday goods more expensive.

    We’ll also cover:

    • Why companies are stockpiling goods and encouraging early consumer spending
    • How tariffs on imports from China, Vietnam, and others are impacting prices
    • What sectors (like cars, appliances, electronics) are being hit hardest
    • One practical step you can take in your budget to prepare for unpredictable pricing
    • Volatility isn’t just a market issue—it’s a life issue. We’ll help you connect the dots and stay focused when it feels like everything is shifting.
