With an abundance of economic data this week we have a lot to cover. Here’s some of the key topics and insights:

• SpaceX IPO dominates headlines
• Inflation concerns continue to pressure rate-cut expectations
• Rising energy prices remain the biggest inflation driver and are beginning to push food prices higher again.
• Consumer sentiment highlights strain on lower-income households
• University of Michigan survey data show lower-income consumers have been hit hardest by higher gasoline prices.
• Geographic concerns should not automatically disqualify investment opportunities. European indexes are less concentrated in technology and communication stocks, offering diversification benefits.
