According to @MRRydon, the economic landscape in 2028 witnessed significant challenges, including a 38% decline in the S&P 500, rising unemployment at 10.2%, and signs of stress in private credit and prime mortgages. Despite these economic strains, advancements in AI not only met but exceeded expectations, highlighting its resilience and transformative potential even during market downturns.

According to @BullTheoryio, the US unemployment rate has come in at 4.3%, slightly lower than the expected 4.4%. This improvement in the labor market indicates a healthier economy, which could reduce the likelihood of interest rate cuts in 2026, affecting long-term investment strategies.
