US household wealth is falling:
US household equity wealth is set to drop a whopping -$3 trillion this quarter, the most since the 2022 bear market, according to BofA estimates.
By comparison, equity holdings rose +$9 trillion in 2024 to a record $56 trillion.
In other words, one-third of last year's gains have likely been wiped out due to the recent market pullback.
Furthermore, the top 10% of the wealthiest Americans own 87% of US stocks.
This, in turn, may negatively impact consumer spending as the top 10% reflect a record 50% of all consumer expenditures.
Consumer spending is set to slow in Q2 2025.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Defends @DOGE
@SecScottBessent:
"25% of the GDP of the US pulsates through (Washington, DC) every day."
"And everybody wants to just skim a little."
"I said to @elonmusk, 'You know, people are mad at you because you're moving their cheese.'"
"And he goes, 'It's not their cheese, it's the American people's cheese.'"
@friedberg:
"100%. Every dollar spent goes into someone's pocket and that person is going to fight tooth and nail to get that dollar to keep flowing into their pocket."
"And then it takes a while for the flow of that money to find its way, or those individuals to find their way back into the productive private economy."
" That's where I think there's a big gap and a big challenge in the perception of the actions that are going on with the changes right now."
"Everyone sees the cuts, but they don't see the benefits. And that's 9 months, 12 months, 15 months down the road."
"And that's a really hard thing to reconcile for most."
Secretary Bessent:
"Everyone's hearing cuts and they think their government services are going to get cut."
"And they're not. I keep saying, it's the Department of Government Efficiency, not government extinction, not government elimination."
Thanks to our partners for making the DC trip happen:

This is interesting:
~90% of foreign stock indices have outperformed the US over the last 21 days, the highest percentage since the 2022 bear market.
The share has doubled over the last three weeks as the S&P 500 has pulled back -6.5%.
Over the same time period, the German Dax has risen +2.1% while the Japanese Nikkei 225 has declined -1.4%.
Canada's stock market, the TSX Composite has fallen -0.7% during the same period.
Meanwhile, the UK’s FTSE 100 index has been roughly unchanged.
Will US stocks outperform over the next few weeks?

This is pretty wild.
An editor from The Atlantic was accidentally added to a group chat planning the Houthi military strikes.
He allegedly received top secret information on the strike hours before it happened. https://t.co/imeNpNOgyK

As a result, the Magnificent 7 has erased -$3 TRILLION in market cap.
What is institutional capital telling us?
