The stock market continues to recover in spite of the chaos of the current political climate, although none of this makes much sense to me considering that we seem to be heading toward a recession of our own creation.
On the jobs front, the unemployment rate for May remained steady at 4.2%, with a stronger than expected 139,000 new jobs created. Oil prices have climbed to the $66 level (from $62) with that $66 price reflected in a local unleaded regular gasoline price of $2.94 at my last fill-up. Is the energy market pricing in the prospect of a potential trade deal with China?
On the financial front, my assets have surprisingly hit another all-time high, surpassing the previous high from February 2025! I again skipped my usual Fidelity 401k transaction (FSKAX) and Vanguard VTI purchase in my taxable brokerage account because I am not comfortable adding to our equity holdings at this time. I did take an S Corp distribution and my T-Bill holdings automatically rolled into new ones: 13 week 4.309% -> 4.356%, 4 week 4.293% -> 4.293%, and new 8 week at 4.312%.
As for the non-financial, the school year is almost over and I'm trying to focus on our summer family vacation as the USA seems more angry and divided than ever. "May you live in interesting times", indeed.
