Hi @Gangster

A balanced article imo … have copied the table above.

If you didn’t buy a car or truck during May and owned your own home, you’d be hurting overall.

Also imo the “win” from falling oil prices in May was simply serendipitous and nothing related to past Fed rate increases … oil is a global commodity with global influences, one of which, to be fair, would be the state of the US economy.

Cheers
