Luke Gromen examines the current divergence between the S&P 500 index reaching an all-time high and consumer sentiment hitting an all-time low.
He suggests that when the S&P 500 is priced in gold, the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street becomes clearer, pointing to currency and inflation as central factors.
Gromen previously noted a sharp split in U.S. rail traffic, with commodities shipments growing while intermodal volumes remained near flat earlier this year. He also raised questions about the need for U.S. dollar swap lines by countries with significant offshore USD holdings, including the UAE in a separate commentary. These observations add context to his recent focus on market disconnects.
