In this episode, Alex McFadyen pulls back the curtain on what's really happening in the market. Learn about the critical factors you're probably not watching, like government bond yields, oil prices, and swap spreads; that have a bigger impact on your wallet.

This is the timing playbook you need to navigate today's volatile market and make smarter financial moves.
