Markets are celebrating a “strong” jobs report… but the underlying data tells a very different story. In this video, Mark Malek breaks down the biggest economic releases from the week including nonfarm payrolls, labor force participation, consumer sentiment, CPI, PPI, retail sales, inflation expectations, and what all of it means for the Federal Reserve, stocks, and your portfolio.

The labor market is cooling, discouraged workers are rising, consumer confidence is near historic lows, and inflation risks may be heating back up just as Wall Street prices in rate cuts. Next week’s CPI, PPI, and retail sales reports could completely shift the market narrative heading into summer.
If inflation comes in hot again, the Fed could be trapped — and the market may finally have to confront reality.
