Will be higher due to federal layoffs and increased labor force participation because of the provisions in OBBB.
This now has its own inertia and the improvements will not stop.

I was also thinking about another thing thats hurting pricing is the large scale retail theft.
Retailers having to put things under glass impact prices downstream. Having to recoup double or triple the "overrun" than normal likely increases pricing as well. We have seen retailers move or close accordingly all increasing short term costs to reduce long term.
California not preventing or responding to less than 900 dollars worth of theft is likely killing retailers and the frequency they incur such a loss.
Insurance companies are begging to get out of California but they can't so they keep raising prices as much as legally allowed. All of this has a downstream affect on pricing.

All I'm going to say this time is that I don't think banks, oil, and industrials are going to be pushing the SPX to another strong year with the Nasdaq spinning its wheels/in a downtrend!
"Goldilocks setup" - Conveniently right before the midterm season starts!
Add in an acceleration of productivity spikes and we are truly entering a golden age.
I'll be here all year to hear some crow being eaten. My expectation though is lots of avoidance of the reality.

Geiger capital is saying that the growth is directly caused by lowering of the trade deficit.
GDP growth because its net exports
More is coming - Appropriated spend <> actual spend

What Drove the Sharp Drop in the U.S. Trade Deficit? Gold
The U.S. trade deficit plunged in October largely due to gold exports and lower pharmaceutical imports, suggesting a headline improvement that may not meaningfully boost GDP.
