As for the debt talks, they appear to be nearing the end amid reports that a potential deal would increase the debt ceiling and cap federal spending on most items for two years.
Inflation figures are reinforcing the view that pricing pressures continue, and spending is healthy. Next week’s jobs report looks like the last hope for the Fed pausing its tightening cycle next month.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
