In this week's Market Update, Advent Partners Financial Advisor Colin Bernd breaks down what the hike means for savers and borrowers, why three of the biggest names in AI are calling for a slowdown in development, and two more headlines — a blocked crypto bill and a major EPA rule rollback — shaping the week in markets.
