The latest Equifax Market Pulse data reveals something Wall Street may be missing: America's middle class is quietly disappearing. While headline economic data suggests consumers remain resilient, a deeper look at household assets, debt, and financial resilience tells a completely different story.
In this episode of Wall Street Truthbombs, Mark Malek breaks down why the biggest predictor of financial survival isn't income—it's assets. The report shows households with less than $100,000 in investable assets are rapidly falling into financial distress, while wealth continues concentrating at the very top.
We discuss:
The Equifax Market Pulse Index
Why the middle class is shrinking
Consumer spending risks
Credit card delinquencies
Millennials and financial pressure
Why Wall Street may be underpricing consumer weakness
What investors should watch during earnings season
If consumer spending drives roughly 70% of U.S. GDP, this trend could have major implications for retail stocks, discretionary spending, and the broader market.
