Inflation is easing toward the Fed’s target while U.S. GDP growth remains steady at 2.4%. Unemployment is still low by historic standards, and policy uncertainty is trending down.

With inflation cooling, growth holding, and borrowing costs easing, the outlook feels increasingly constructive for investors, homeowners, and businesses alike.
