Investors are bracing for inflation:

The US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) ETF, $TIP, attracted +$900 million of inflows in April, the largest monthly intake since December 2021.

This marks only the 2nd monthly inflow over the last 5 months.

Furthermore, global inflation-linked bonds are up +2% year-to-date, outperforming all 24 major fixed-income indexes tracked by Bloomberg.

Previously, in March, Euro inflation-linked bond funds attracted +$588 million in inflows, the most since March 2022, posting a strong reversal after almost a year of withdrawals.

This comes as investors believe the Iran War will leave a lasting inflationary impact on the global economy, regardless of where energy prices go from here.

Global inflation fears are surging.

I'm having Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and Gemini identify pit bulls and Claude's answers are super disappointing.

It knows which of two dogs is a pit bull and goes 'A-ha! This is a trick question and the one that looks less like a pit bull is actually the pit!'

Foolish LLM.

THE PEOPLE are behind Paxton!

The K-Shaped economy is worsening:

Sentiment among consumers earning less than $50,000 is down to ~82 points, the 2nd-lowest since May 2023 and in-line with the 2020 pandemic low.

At the same time, sentiment among those earning $50,000-$100,000 is down to ~90 points, near the lowest since December 2023.

The sentiment index for both groups has been in a downtrend over the last 14 months.

Meanwhile, sentiment among consumers earning over $100,000 has risen since February, to ~110 points, and stands above the 2023-2024 average.

This comes as lower-income households are increasingly concerned about surging gasoline prices that are up +60% year-to-date, to $4.56/gallon, the highest since 2022.

Financial strain on lower-income consumers is accelerating.

Indonesia once doubled teacher salaries.

The result of doing this was that teachers were happier about their income, less likely to have second jobs, and they reported less financial stress.

But student test scores were completely unaffected.
