The US economy is growing at the fastest pace since April 2022.

That's according to new data from S&P Global releasedTuesday morning.

S&P Global's flash US composite PMI, which captures activity in both the services and manufacturing sectors, came in at 54.5 in May, up from 53.4 in April and better than the 53.0 that had been expected by economists. This marked a 13-month high for the index.

This increase was entirely driven by an uptick in the services sector. The services component of S&P's report showed the index registered 55.1 this month, up from 53.6 in April. Manufacturing activity, however, contracted in May with the index registering 48.5, the lowest in two months.

Any reading above 50 for these indexes represents expansion in the sector; readings below 50 indicate contraction.

He was kidding. But the macro issue is that the Fed is looking for reasons to pause, and today's services and housing data is counter productive.

DISH up almost 15% on rumors of possibly offering wireless plans on Amazon. I would imagine if plan doesn't happen, prices will drop dramatically.

Debt ceiling agreement, but both parties are unhappy, which is good. Hopefully we get it passed and the market continues its uptrend.
 
If the market is on an uptrend then we should expect more rate hikes. Core CPI is not dropping like many thought would happen. The debt ceiling agreement means rate hikes and banking issues are the two main factors holding inflation down. Even the debt ceiling agreement appears to allow for more spending but not above the rate of inflation. Not even sure how they implement that since inflation is backwards looking and budgets are forward looking.

But we do know that rate hikes are now going to be looked at each session, considering all other economic indicators, so as to not cause a serious recession. Pauses and rate decreases are now on the table. Job numbers are decreasing.
Both Dems and Republicans are considering budgets that will decrease the debt, over time. I was hoping for some tax loopholes being closed, but that’s me. We need to generate revenue too.
