After a period of aggressive interest rate hikes aimed at taming inflation, the Federal Reserve is poised to shift gears in the coming months. With inflation moderating and approaching the Fed’s 2% target, economists and investors anticipate rate cuts as early as September 2024. Lower interest rates typically benefit certain sectors through lower borrowing costs

With U.S. Presidential elections around the corner, there are several sectors in the spotlight. The reason being potential policy changes and their impact on growth.

There’s a lot of significance behind the timely return of investing influencer Keith Gill, who is best known by his YouTube and X persona, “Roaring Kitty.” Gill was a driving force behind the 2021 meme stock frenzy that saw GameStop’s stock briefly soar 4,000% in a now infamous short squeeze. Now, there are several meme stocks
