US markets just dropped some interesting signals today.
Consumer confidence climbed for the first time in nearly half a year—shooting up from 51 to 53.3, which actually topped expectations sitting at 52. What's particularly telling? The entire bump came from the forward-looking component, which surged to 55. That's people feeling better about what's ahead, not just reacting to what's already happened.
Now, about that inflation piece...

The consumer confidence data looks good, but this jump from 51 to 53.3... I need to dig into the capital flows. What's the real purchasing power like? Hopefully it's not another data scam.

Consumer confidence has rebounded, but can this really support a bull market? It feels like there's a strong sense of expectation management.

Consumer confidence has risen, but this increase is entirely supported by expectations for the future... Can it really be realized?
