Dear Quaint Community,

As we prepare for another promising week, we're excited to share updates on our portfolio and insights into the upcoming economic indicators.

Week Ahead: Economic Indicators and Market Outlook:

Economic Data: Investors have been cautiously optimistic, navigating through economic data that suggest a cooling, yet resilient economy. This week will be pivotal with several key reports:

  • Tuesday: Producer Price Index (PPI)

  • Wednesday: Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Retail Sales for April

These data points will be crucial in assessing inflationary pressures and the overall health of the consumer sector, which has shown mixed signals lately.
