NY Fed warns of mass defaults as household debt hits a record $17.5 trillion.

That’s up $3.4 trillion since the pandemic — almost $30,000 per household. On top of $10 trillion in new federal debt — almost $80,000 per household.

CHI Fed: national financial conditions appear to have flatlined in recent weeks after substantial revisions; w/ macro adjustments, there’s even slight tightening though still way looser than average; revisions have had big swings in the last few years, so we’ll wait and see:
