Millionaire Mindcast Markets Ignore the Headlines: Inflation, Tariffs, Crypto, and the New Investor Playbook | Money Moves
In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A and Brian break down why a “nothing burger” CPI print might actually be more important than it looks, what falling core inflation really means for rate cuts in 2026, and why ignoring the headlines may be the smartest investing move right now.
They dig into the rise of gamification in markets, the impact of crypto as a real-time sentiment gauge, and why today’s investors behave nothing like those from previous decades. From tariffs and Supreme Court rulings to silver’s parabolic run and renewed strength in housing and real estate, this episode connects the dots between policy, psychology, and price action.
If you’re wondering why markets keep defying expectations — and how to position yourself without chasing hype — this episode is for you.
