Middle Eastern conflict has escalated following Iran’s missile strike on Israel on Tuesday. Eurasia Group Founder & President Ian Bremmer joins Market Domination to discuss the aftermath of this intensifying geopolitical situation. Bremmer notes that Iran’s strike on Israel was “significantly greater” and posed considerably more danger than the strike back in April, when the Iranians sought to retaliate for the assassination of a leader in Tehran. He points out that the strike on Israel was telegraphed to the Americans, allowing Israel to implement defenses and safety measures.

Principal’s President of Retirement & Income Solutions Chris Littlefield discusses why this perception may not reflect reality for most people.

The Federal Reserve’s recent 50 basis point rate cut in September has investors speculating about the central bank’s future rate-cutting path as the November meeting approaches. With rates trending downward, Claris Financial Advisors Founder Lee Baker joins Wealth! to discuss the impact of lower rates on personal finances.

You may have fewer commuting costs. You may not need clothes to go into the office. So take a hard look at that.
