Will we see more interest rate hikes this year?

Watch the replay of last night's special event, “The AI Story No One's Telling,” at www.curzioai.com. I start today’s show by eating some humble pie over my NCAA Final Four picks. I share my thoughts on the tournament so far… and which games I’m most looking forward to in the coming weeks.  We saw an incredible turnout for our special event last night, “The AI Story No One's Telling.” Our live Q&A lasted almost two hours—covering everything from the current state of AI… to where we're headed with artificial general intelligence (AGI). Thank you to everyone who attended. But if you missed it, don’t worry—you can watch the replay at www.curzioai.com. Trust me, it's worth your time. Tomorrow, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried will be sentenced for illegally leveraging customers' assets, which caused the collapse of the company. He faces up to 100 years. I share the irony behind this debacle… why I think SBF will get slapped with a major sentence… and why he’ll likely walk free within the next few years. The tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore shines a light on the critical role of our country’s infrastructure. I break down the bridge’s importance to U.S. trade… and the massive ripple effect its collapse will send throughout the economy. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers show inflation at its highest level since October. I highlight why the Fed might have no choice but to hike rates again this year.
