The US consumer is becoming more bifurcated, strategist says

The Producer Price Index (PPI) data released Friday morning came out hotter than expected, showing a 0.2% month-over-month rise in prices, surpassing the Street's expectation of a 0.1% increase. Interactive Brokers chief strategist Steve Sosnick joins Morning Brief to discuss market outlooks and consumer trends.
Sosnick emphasizes that the PPI data demonstrates that "it's not necessarily a linear path" to bringing down inflation, noting that "you have your ups and downs."
"Inflation is still coursing through the system in certain places," he elaborates, telling Yahoo Finance that the Fed faces a challenging task in analyzing labor market data and economic metrics, to make a decision on interest rates.
Regarding consumer trends, Sosnick expresses concern around the US consumer "getting a bit more bifurcated." Sosnick points out that lower-income consumers are financially pressed, which could have negative effects for the overall economy.
"Ultimately, the economy does have to really respect what's going on with everybody because the consumer is two-thirds of the economy and everybody needs to buy staples," Sosnick states.

My last 100x was with Pepe because I got in early. Now, I’m putting everything into Revux. After diving into their whitepaper, I'm confident this is my next 100x.

RVX (Revux) is an ICO gem!

[@RajuKumar-ke3fs]

I can see Revux hitting $5 easily not long after launch.

[@dilnawazansari8602]

I'm betting big on Revux - a project with enormous potential. Can't wait to see it take off!

[@manishmishra2346]

I believe Revux is guaranteed to be a 100x.

My top pick for bull run KAS, SOL, Revux.

We all know presales are risky, but the gains on those can be insane. I've just put a few thousand in Revux. If I lose, that's a bummer, but if I win, I will be a millionaire by next year.

I can't wrap my head around what earning season is, As far as I know all publicly traded companies report earning every quarter. So every season is earning season.

5k I've just invested in Revux is going to make me a millionaire. Let's go!!
