Up 5% yoy including coming down from peak transient egg prices. Walmart EPS isn't soaring either. It's likely tariffs or upstream suppliers.

Absent a Trump, I thought we'd be facing a near-term ZIRP future -- something I called over a year ago. The inflation bout lasted longer than I thought, and then Trump was elected. Instead of returning to the slow-recovery period between 2009 and 2020, we face uncertainty. Trump's capriciousness -- it's not a negotiating tactic, people -- makes it impossible to predict the future.

I mentioned this previously, that in the short term, what may prevent the US from immediately going into recession is how much demand continues to outstrip supply. With labor tightness, companies aren't able to hire enough workers to keep up with demand. Instead, they've backlogged orders. Until that backlog is gone, companies won't be laying off workers. That's the one quirk in the post-COVID era.

“In the 10 years after a Walmart Supercenter opened in a given community, the average household in that community experienced a 6 percent decline in yearly income—equivalent to about $5,000 a year in 2024 dollars—compared with households that didn’t have a Walmart open near them.”
New research examines more than “low prices” to gauge community health.
Walmart hurts the communities it assimilates.

Many bank accounts ballooned early in the pandemic, when people were stuck at home and received stimulus checks, then receded quickly as inflation and “revenge” spending on vacations, dining out and other services, took their toll.
But researchers say households are beginning to settle back into pre-pandemic spending and saving patterns. In the decade between the Great Recession and the pandemic, bank accounts were “very consistent,” said Wheat of the JPMorgan Chase Institute. “There was a lot of stability — and that’s the pattern we’re starting to see again.”
[...] holds across income groups and race, wide inequities have persisted and in some cases, worsened.
