In the month of May 2026, The Dow hit a record high on the exact same day consumer sentiment hit an all-time low — and that disconnect is telling us something important. Wall Street is celebrating eight straight winning weeks while everyday Americans post their third straight monthly decline in confidence, creating the widest gap between markets and reality we've seen in years. Does sentiment finally catch up with the market and bring it back to earth? Or like a SpaceX rocket are we about to blast even higher? Let's find out On The Markets.
This week Sonoma Wealth Managing Principals Chris Sipes CFP®, Daren Blonski CFP® and Marketing Director Dano Weir examine:
• Consumer sentiment just hit an all-time low. Historically, what have the next 12-months of S&P returns looked like in those scenarios?
• What 4 categories of loan delinquencies say about the average American family, only one isn’t near all-time highs.
• The Top 20% of America meanwhile are on an unprecedented run of growth since 2019, we’ve got the data to prove it.
• S&P 500 another all-time high. The key resistance line that has Daren thinking we're headed for "blue sky" territory.
