  • AI stocks now make up 35% of the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 and account for 58% of its volatility, highlighting how concentrated AI exposure has become within the broader market. *1
  • Million-dollar homes accounted for 8.3% of existing U.S. home sales in July, up from just 2.2% in 2016, while homes selling below $100,000 fell from 13% to 2.65%. 1
  • Air travel has become significantly more accessible, with nearly half of Americans flying in the past year, compared with fewer than one in four in the early 1970s. 2
  • Long-term Treasury yields reached their highest level since 2007, with the 30-year yield hitting 5.31%. This is up from just 4.7% in March. This rise is partially driven by the fact that the US national debt crossed $40 trillion last week. *3
