US PCE for May 2026: prices outpace real spending, Fed hike risk up

US PCE for May 2026: prices outpace real spending, Fed hike risk up

U.S. consumers paid more in May, but higher prices drove most of the increase rather than people buying more. That has equity investors watching demand as they try to gauge whether earnings will hold up with inflation rising again. Commerce reported personal income climbed $181.6 billion, or 0.7%, in May. Disposable income was up $164.9 billion, and spending gained $156.1 billion, also a 0.7% rise. Real personal consumption expenditures, which strip out inflation, increased $43.8 billion, or 0.3%. Saving rate hit 3.0%. The PCE price index posted a 0.4% gain in May and 4.1% over the year. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, was up 0.3% for the month and 3.4% on the year.
Boomers’ paper wealth strong, but cash is light, data show

Boomers’ paper wealth strong, but cash is light, data show

Baby boomers in the U.S. will hold nearly $90 trillion in household wealth by the end of 2025, over half the country’s total, but banks, brokers and consumer firms are more focused on their ready cash than net worth figures. Investopedia reported June 24 that average boomer net worth is above $1.6 million, with median net worth around $370,000. Gap tells the story here. Rich households drag up the average. But it's the median that lines up with the customers most firms want as boomers head further into retirement.

Foreign investors pull $8.6 billion from Korean, Taiwanese stocks

Foreign investors dumped about $8.6 billion of Korean and Taiwan stocks on Wednesday, while the KOSPI jumped 3.3% in Seoul. The bounce was led by Korean buyers. Overseas investors offloaded a net 4.66 trillion won, about 8.7% of market turnover, with local retail and instituionals picking up 4.55 trillion won. In Taiwan, foreign investors sold a record NT$177.42 billion, 12.2% of turnover. TSMC slid 4.02%, dragging the Taiex down by about 76% of its 1,057-point loss. “TSMC just fell victim to such profit-taking,” Cathay Futures analyst Tsai Ming-han said. The foreign outflows show that Seoul’s pop wasn’t a sign of risk appetite coming back. KOSPI ended at 8,471.02 after plunging 9.99% on Tuesday. That puts the index 7.1% under Monday’s all-time high of 9,114.55.

Patrick Munnelly, market strategist at Tickmill Group, said investors are starting to wonder if the semiconductor rally has “run too high.”

Rheinmetall drops, erasing €7 billion, as investors sour on naval push

Rheinmetall drops, erasing €7 billion, as investors sour on naval push

Rheinmetall AG shares tumbled Wednesday, as investors question more than the loss of a single German warship contract. At issue now is how much of the stock’s premium comes down to Berlin’s willingness to hand Rheinmetall fresh, complex naval projects. Shares dropped 13.5% to €1,009 at 10:04 CEST, after touching €972, which Google Finance listed as the 52-week low for the stock. There are 46.66 million shares outstanding. The €157.60 drop erased around €7.4 billion in market value during morning trading in Frankfurt. The lost contract would have brought revenue spread over years, not immediate profit.

Nasdaq edges lower in after-hours as AI chip fall spurs margin chatter

U.S. stocks ended lower Tuesday after a volatile session. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index tumbled 7.9%, much steeper than the S&P 500, which lost 1.44%. Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors managed gains—consumer staples rose 1.8%. The Nasdaq dropped 2.21%. The Dow edged down 0.09%. On the NYSE, losers beat winners by a narrow 1.31-to-1 margin. Trading focused on recalibrating AI capex. “Some of the news lately about AI raises questions about all the spending that’s being done and the capex and ramping of the capacity for semiconductors,” said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Globalt. The after-hours update dropped after the NYSE’s late session wrapped. That session runs 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET on most trading days. June 23 was a regular session, not a holiday. It came after the Juneteenth break on June 19 and before the July 3 Independence Day close, as listed on the NYSE 2026 calendar.
