Contextualizing monthly consumer sentiment and market momentum. Data as of November 30, 2022.

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving, when all through the house — not an aunt, uncle, or cousin could put down their phones, for fear of missing out.

May your hangovers be well nursed and your holiday party season gay; happy holidays to all, and to all a good Thursday!
