Low Sentiment, Strong Spending: What's Behind the Mixed Consumer Outlook

Eddie Yoon and Jan Rogers Kniffen discuss why weak consumer sentiment may not tell the full story. They point to falling oil prices easing inflation and strong spending from higher-income and middle-class consumers, with Macy’s (M), Tapestry (TPR), Ralph Lauren (RL), Walmart (WMT), and Amazon (AMZN) showing solid results. While lower-income consumers remain pressured, lower gas prices could unlock spending and support a stronger holiday season.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
