  • Bad news is good news again — the Citi surprise index has experienced a pace of disappointment we have not seen since May 2022 and the S&P 500 has jumped over 3% since

  • Even without a hit to incomes from a cooling labor market, reverting back to the pre-COVID-19 norm in the savings rate alone can bring the economy into a consumer-led frugality recession
