S&P just hit a new all-time high.
Wall Street is popping champagne, calling it a “recovery” and “risk-on rebound.”
Meanwhile:
CPI just spiked to 3.3% YoY (biggest jump in years, energy 10.9% in a month).
UMich consumer sentiment crashed to 47.6 — an ALL-TIME LOW in 74 years of data.
This isn’t strength. It’s the same old story: the asset economy is completely divorced from the real one.
Portfolios up. Paychecks wrecked by gas, groceries, and rent.
Two Americas. One’s winning. The other’s just trying to survive the month.
Wake up.
