@guerra.wealth: Weekly Market Update Week Ending August 21, 2026 Higher rates and higher oil prices don't affect every retirement plan the same way. This week: the 10-year Treasury held near 4.7%, retail sales dipped 0.6% in July while annual spending stayed up 5%, and oil climbed on renewed Middle East tension. Housing starts fell over 12%, though building permits actually rose 5%, pointing to a steadier pipeline ahead. For families approaching or already in retirement, weeks like this raise practical questions. Is your cash reserve where it needs to be? Does your bond duration still match your time horizon? One volatile week shouldn't change a well-built plan. But it's a good reason to look at yours. Educational content only. Not individualized investment, tax, or legal advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
