Dow on a winning streak, rockin’ retail, and a housing slowdown 5/26/22

Stocks are higher again today, a fifth-straight positive session for the Dow as it tries to stop an 8-week skid. We’ll look at what it tells us about the Fed and the market’s next move. Plus, retail is rallying hard today, with most of the S&P 500’s biggest gainers being consumer names. Did the markets overreact to Walmart & Target results? We’ll explore. And, while the retail picture is mixed, the housing picture is very clear. The real estate market is slowing fast, as low inventories and high prices persist. We’ll get the latest on the state of housing.
