Our primary takeaways are as follows:

● The latest business sales and inventory data surprised consensus expectations, further contributing to resilient nominal activity. Total manufacturing & trade sales are now rising modestly versus one year prior.

● Nominal spending remains resilient, and because nominal spending pays for wages,
employment has also remained resilient. Until spending durably and meaningfully contracts, we are unlikely to see a contraction in employment.

● Resilient nominal GDP remains incongruent with the current shape of the yield curve, which will likely favour further bear steepening of the curve
