The Fed Rate Cut is DEAD. What Should Investors Do Next?

The market narrative has completely flipped. If you went into 2026 expecting multiple interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, those expectations just officially collapsed. Between explosive crude oil price spikes following geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and a massive, upwardly revised May jobs report, inflation is proving far too sticky. The bond market has quickly repriced, with the 2-year Treasury yield jumping drastically as rate futures shift from pricing in a "hold" to an active rate hike before the end of the year.

In this video, I break down the brutal mechanical truth behind why your tech, AI, and growth stock portfolios are taking a massive beating right now (hint: it's all about how higher rates compress the present value of future earnings). We also look at the rare sectors that actually benefit from a higher-for-longer environment, and how to audit your portfolio for resilience.
