In this episode, I look at the ISM Manufacturing PMI. This is a powerful but underappreciated economic signal. With nine straight months of contraction and broad sector weakness, this report reveals early signs of a broader slowdown you can't afford to ignore.

Also in this episode:

📉 New Orders fall again, showing businesses are bracing for weaker demand in early 2026.👷‍♂️ Hiring freezes persist across manufacturing, with 67% of firms managing headcounts down.📦 Backlogs keep dropping, stripping away the buffer that sustained production in previous months.🚚 Supplier deliveries are speeding up, a hidden sign that demand is cooling throughout the supply chain.🛒 Customer inventories stay low, but restocking isn't happening , a signal of caution, not strength.💰 Input prices rise even as demand weakens, pointing to sticky cost pressures across the sector.

After nearly two decades of growth, home prices are down 20–30%, with no rebound in sight. As millions rely on real estate for retirement, the correction is exposing just how fragile that plan really is, and why diversification matters now more than ever. Also in this episode: 🧑‍💼 America’s booming economy masks a deeper divide, where the top 10% keep spending, and everyone else is falling behind. 💳 Consumer habits reveal a stark split: luxury thrives while value brands suffer in a "K-shaped" recovery. 📊 The top 10% now drive half of U.S. consumer spending, reshaping economic policy and growth. 🛒 Low-income consumers are skipping purchases, as inflation and tariffs hit them hardest. 🚗 Carmakers and airlines shift focus to their richest customers, leaving others behind. 🧾 The shrinking middle class is losing ground, and it’s not just about income anymore. 💼 Asset ownership now defines who stays stable in a volatile economy. ----------- 📥 Subscribe to the Pulse Newsletter for Weekly Market News ➤ https://thepulse.beaviswealth.com/ Courses & Training - The Investing Academy ➤ https://bit.ly/theinvestingacademy Follow Us On Blossom ➤ https://getblossom.page.link/brandon Instagram ➤ https://bit.ly/3Oechgh LinkedIn ➤https://bit.ly/3RLndF7 Website ➤ https://www.beaviswealth.com ----------- 🏦🇨🇦 Sign Up Bonuses 💰💸: ► Wealthsimple Trade ($50 cash bonus) - wealthsimple.sjv.io/Vmome3 ► Wealthsimple Invest Robo-Advisor (Receive a $50 sign up bonus) - wealthsimple.sjv.io/oqQqKm ► NEO Financial (Cash Back Credit Card) - https://bit.ly/3yJqb4s ► Questrade Online Brokerage (Get $50 in commission-free trades) - https://bit.ly/3OhrRrK The above affiliate links are provided for your convenience, and if you click on a link and end up purchasing a product or service, this channel may receive compensation for the referral.
