                <itunes:subtitle>Markets were at records Thursday. By Monday morning everything changed — and here&#39;s what every family needs to know right now.</itunes:subtitle>
                <itunes:summary>Everything looked fine on Thursday.
Markets at records. Iran ceasefire holding. Jobs report coming Friday.
Then 72 hours changed everything.
Friday — 172,000 jobs added. Way stronger than expected. Markets dropped 5%. Nasdaq wiped a trillion dollars in one session.
Saturday and Sunday — Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes. Israel hit Iranian petrochemical facilities Monday morning. Oil rising. Ceasefire now shaky.
Monday — futures down 5% before markets even open.
In this episode Markens Benoit breaks it all down in plain English — no jargon, no Wall Street speak. Just what happened, what it means, and what your family needs to do right now.
In this episode:
— Why strong jobs news crashed the market
— What the Iran escalation means for your grocery bill and gas prices
— Why Intel surged 10% while everything else fell
— What the Fed is likely to do with interest rates now
— The three things every family needs before the next market swing
The market will always have its chaos. Your family deserves a plan that doesn&#39;t.

APPLE PODCASTS SUMMARY:
This week the market gave us everything — all-time records, a tech selloff, a potential Iran ceasefire, oil dropping 10%, and the May jobs report. All in five days.
Markens Benoit breaks it all down in plain English — no jargon, no Wall Street speak. Just what happened, what it means, and what your family needs to know.
In this episode:
— Why the S&amp;P 500 and Dow hit record highs early in the week
— Why Broadcom&#39;s earnings sent chip stocks tumbling Thursday
— What the Iran ceasefire means for oil prices and your grocery bill
— Why the Dow surged 875 points the same day tech sold off
— What the May jobs report means for your mortgage and borrowing costs
— The three things every family needs before the next market swing
Here&#39;s the truth — records on Wall Street don&#39;t pay your mortgage. They don&#39;t protect your kids. They don&#39;t replace your paycheck.
Your plan does.
The market has its weeks. Make sure your family has its plan.
