Financial Pulse – February 2026

In this month’s Financial Pulse, Drew and Mike discuss:

Why international markets have been leading recently and what a softer U.S. dollar can mean for both competitiveness and import costs.
A quick reality check on the dollar’s move in context (vs. the yen, pound, and euro).
Short-term interest rates may have room to come down, while longer-term rates aren’t signaling the same direction.
Gold and silver’s rise plus an “intrinsic value” lens for thinking about price vs. what you’re actually getting for what you pay.
Tax season reminder: tax planning may have ended 12/31, but there can still be moves worth testing to potentially reduce your tax bill.
A quick reframing from “insurance shopping” to risk management, starting with clarifying what risks could truly derail your plan before talking policies or products.
