In March, the House of Representatives voted 414-5 in favor of the Securing a Strong Retirement Act of 2022. If passed by the Senate, and then signed into law by President Joe Biden, the act could represent a massive economic policy shift regarding retirement savings and investment. Now, the next generation known as the SECURE Act 2.0, expands on the original SECURE Act and includes provisions to boost the required minimum distribution (RMD) age from 72 to 75 over time, broaden automatic enrollment in retirement plans, and enhance 403(b) plans.
The DJIA rose for its fifth straight day, as the S&P and NASDAQ are poised to snap their seven-week losing streaks.

But, Microsoft, Meta, Uber, and Nvidia slowed hiring, and Netflix and Robinhood recently laid off staff. SoftBank’s Vision Fund posted its worst annual loss as a result of the tech downturn.
