Impact of Economic Volatility

Heightened volatility in the markets has emerged due to various economic shifts and consumer trends, marking a significant change from the previous year. This volatility has been particularly noticeable in retail sectors, where consumer spending is beginning to decline, evident from lower earnings reports from companies like McDonald's. Factors such as rising 90-day delinquency rates suggest increasing financial stress among consumers, especially as many prioritize paying off debts amid tax refund season. The podcast emphasizes the importance of these indicators, forewarning about a potentially challenging summer for the economy.
