Goldstone Financial Group

Global events can ripple through financial markets quickly, especially when energy prices and geopolitical tensions are involved. Phillip Shaw, CFP®, Senior Advisor at Goldstone Financial Group, joined WGN Radio this week to discuss how the recent conflict involving Iran and Israel could influence oil prices, inflation expectations, and short-term market movement. In the conversation, Phillip explains why markets often react sharply in the early stages of geopolitical events, particularly when disruptions to energy supply are possible. He also discusses how changes in oil prices can feed into inflation, the continued uncertainty surrounding tariffs and trade policy, and why businesses and investors alike tend to seek consistency when making long term decisions. Phillip also shares an important reminder for investors: Market reactions to major headlines can feel dramatic in the moment, but history shows that these periods of volatility often fade as fundamentals reassert themselves over time.

A Supreme Court ruling can feel distant until it starts affecting pricing, supply chains, and business planning at the local level. Following the Supreme Court’s ruling limiting the President’s authority to impose many tariffs, Matt Rice, Chief Investment Officer at Goldstone Financial Group, CFA, CAIA, joined @cbschicago to discuss what this could mean for businesses and consumers here in Chicago. The conversation focuses on how tariff policy influences operating costs, inventory decisions, and consumer pricing, and how shifts in trade policy can ripple through markets even before new legislation is finalized. For business owners, investors, and retirees, understanding how policy changes translate into economic impact is essential.

The economy is sending mixed signals, and not everyone is experiencing it the same way. Last Friday on @WGNRadio, Phillip Shaw, CFP®, Senior Advisor at Goldstone Financial Group, discussed why economic data can look strong on the surface while many individuals and families feel uncertainty in their day-to-day financial decisions. The conversation explored how market gains driven by artificial intelligence differ from broader economic participation, why employment trends vary sharply by age and career stage, and how interest rate expectations continue to influence planning decisions. Phillip also shared perspective on tax withholding, high-interest debt, and why financial choices often look very different depending on where someone is in life. Rather than focusing on predictions, the discussion emphasizes understanding context and recognizing how large economic forces translate into practical decisions around work, saving, and retirement.
