Inside the Economy: Housing Market, Consumers, and the Job Market
This week on Inside the Economy, we discuss the housing market, consumer debt, and the current job market. Consumer spending is up right alongside total household debt, which has hit record highs for both housing and other loans. With mortgage late payments ticking up just a bit and foreclosures staying well below levels seen during the 2008 financial crisis, what does this higher level of borrowing mean for the economy? On the housing front, while long term indexes show a post pandemic leap, recent data reveals that median asking rents have cooled to sit about 4% below their 2022 peak. Could this be temporary breathing room for tenants, or perhaps a sign of a broader shift in the rental market? Meanwhile, in the workforce, prime age (24-54 years old) labor force participation has held strong while the overall participation rate has dipped recently, and the labor share of income has trended downward to historic lows. What are these shifting workforce dynamics possibly signaling about our economy? Shifting to what was previously the hottest topic, large tariff refunds have pushed net government receipts below zero, turning tariff collections into a sudden cash boost for the economy. Could this unexpected influx of cash provide a welcome boost to growth, or perhaps will it just add to the national deficit and fuel inflation? Tune in to learn more. Key Takeaways: S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) Headline rate at 3.4% Initial jobless claims register at 200,000 Crude Oil priced at $82.82 per barrel

Inside the Economy: Consumer Spending, Interest Rates, World Markets, and Oil
This week on Inside the Economy, we explore consumer spending, interest rates, world markets, and where oil stands today. Recent data shows consumer spending continues to be elevated while wage increases are slowing, with wage earners feeling the pressure. Households earning $125,000 or less are beginning to experience greater financial strain, but is this a temporary squeeze or could it be the start of a broader shift in consumer behavior? Homes currently on the market are taking longer to sell, and prices have come down somewhat. Would another increase in interest rates push prices down even further, and would that be a good thing for the overall health of the real estate market? Foreign holdings of U.S. financial assets have changed over time. In 2010, foreign investors held 33 percent of U.S. equities. What is that share in 2026? U.S. imports from Asia have risen significantly, but that growth is increasingly coming from countries other than China, while imports from China have declined to their lowest level in years. Which other countries are exporting more to the U.S., and what might the future hold for the trade relationship between the U.S. and China? Tune in to learn more. Key Takeaways: 30-year Mortgage at 6.66% S&P 500 Net Profit Margin expected to be 15.7% in Q2 2026 S. GDP growth rate at 1.5% in Q1

Inside the Economy: Consumer Resilience, S&P 500, and Investment Implications
This week on Inside the Economy, we discuss the overall consumer resilience, the S&P 500, and potential implications for investors. New home inventory has climbed steadily back up to nearly 500,000 units, marking a significant recovery from the historic lows seen a decade ago. Are we finally seeing enough increase in supply to help ease buyer competition, or is inventory still missing the mark? U.S. spending on data center construction has skyrocketed, officially outpacing traditional office and healthcare building markets. Where does this measure alongside educational, and transportation buildings? Meanwhile, PCE inflation measures have cooled dramatically from their historic peaks, settling into a much steadier range heading into mid-2026. Just how long can we expect this balanced inflation environment to last? Federal spending continues to outpace government receipts, maintaining a wide deficit gap even as revenues steadily climb. What could it take to close the distance between incoming tax dollars and national outlays? On the global front, average daily foreign exchange trading volume has climbed past 9.5 trillion dollars, jumping more than a quarter since 2025. What is driving this massive expansion in global currency trading? Aramco has cut its main oil pricing differential to its lowest point since 2020. What could this change in pricing mean for global energy markets and consumer costs ahead? Tune in to learn more. Key Takeaways: Headline CPI at 3.5% Crude Oil price at $81.22 per barrel 30-year mortgage at 6.55%
