A pretty good week.

Home Sales took it on the chin.  You can be certain it's not a demand issue.  Inventory continues to plague this industry as prices are now growing somewhere around 17% +/- per year.

Jobless Claims dropped to a still too high level of 400K,  but a move back in the right direction.

Personal Income and SPending moved into positive territory.

RedBook remains very strong.

Consumers came back slightly and Investors are very positive.  

Mfg remains very positive with CHicago PMI coming in at 73.4!!

1st estimate for Q2 GDP came in with another very respectable 6.5.   We're continuing to open up.  Just need to start filling jobs quicker.

My eyes are focused on next weeks Employment Situation. An always critical report with a little more importance now.

A solid C+ this week.

Thanks Tim!

Any thoughts on if COVID cases might affect people's frame of mind and the economy again?

Thank you Tim for generously contributing these wonderful reports. I counted 54 of them in 2020/21, 23 so far this year! That's a lot of work.........but a labor of love I'm sure, knowing you. I will be putting a thread with all these reports in the forum Library so that we can refer back to see how our economy progressed during this historic pandemic.

Consumer Confidence/Sentiment/Spending is creeping up.   Can't say more than that.
