Hey friend,
Yesterday, weekly jobless claims numbers came in slightly higher than expectations.
Today, data showed that US consumer sentiment had dropped to the lowest level since November 2023.
The “man on the street” is scared – and we’re seeing that in the immediate price action.
But should you be?

The Daily Nugget
The real war that never ends in the markets? The battle between the informed and uninformed.
Most traders think the market is a battle between bulls and bears.
But the real battle is between the informed and the uninformed.
Every trade you take, someone else is on the other side.
The question is – who’s right? Has the edge?
The best traders understand one thing – there’s always someone who knows more.
Instead of trying to outsmart them, they follow them.
They learn from those who have been in the game longer, who have seen every market cycle, who understand the deeper mechanics of price movement.
Trying to go at it alone is like stepping into a high-stakes poker game against professionals.
You might get lucky for a while, but without a strategy – and without learning from those who’ve already won the game – you’ll eventually give it all back.
So if the market feels like a constant battle… are you fighting alone when you could be following someone who’s already won?
Just something to consider before as the markets close for the weekend.
