My “Weekly Indicators” post is up at Seeking Alpha.
While there were no significant changes in the indicators, there is evidence of a downturn in consumer spending compared with the tariff front-running of several months ago, as well as a continued decline in the US$. A geopolitics-related spike in oil prices is also unwelcome.
Put this together and you *may* have the first evidence of actual stagflation taking hold.
As usual, clicking over and reading will bring you up to the virtual moment as to the state of the economy, and reward me with a penny or two for collecting and organizing the data for you.
