Don't listen to what people say about the economy. Watch what they do. 👀

Everyone says theyre worried, yet consumers keep spending, and this week's earnings reports back that up. Then came the PMI report, which measures the strength of the economy and the business cycle, and it was surprisingly strong.

A strong PMI can signal an economy that's heating up, maybe even overheating, and that tends to push interest rates higher.

Why should you care about diesel prices? ⛽🚚

Diesel moves almost everything you buy, from groceries to Amazon packages to the equipment behind every construction project. When diesel costs rise, those higher input costs get passed on to you.

With inflation still not easing much, it's one reason the Fed keeps raising rates to get prices under control. Keep an eye on diesel. It's a window into where inflation is headed.

Bonds are rising in yield primarily because we have a healthy economy and expect more growth. More growth means we require higher yields, and that's not a bad thing.

Higher yields do have a short-term negative effect. Our bond funds are down a little year to date, which isn't a surprise or unusual. But it also sets us up for future growth: as older, lower-rate bonds are replaced with newer, higher-rate ones, the average yield of our bond funds will increase. The potential for more growth within these funds is there; it will just take some time to work out.

In this week's update, we break down what's pushing bond yields up, why the move may not be as alarming as the headline suggests, and why we're keeping a close eye on the cost of the AI buildout.

You have to go back into 2007 to see interest rates as high as they were this week. We haven't been back to this level in just under 20 years! While that sounds really bad, it's important to keep in mind that the long-term trend for yields has actually been decreasing.
