With retail chains closing stores due to the rise in theft, unaffordability in multiple sectors, union strikes, credit card delinquencies, savings depreciation, the cost of living, the housing market, job data, gas prices and more, I would not be suprised if we did pause. There has been data recently thats been more bearish, but we also had a ton of bullish data during the months that usually report the hottest consumer and producer data. However, investors believe that the market is missreading the fed and that they will raise rates.
