K-Shaped Economy Begins to Converge | Raleigh News
Description

While top earners still lead in spending thanks to soaring stock markets, overall consumer growth has slowed — from 6% in June to 5% in July — as temporary boosts fade and essentials like gas eat into budgets. This emerging “Great Convergence” signals a more balanced recovery, but the very wealthy remain insulated, riding the equity wave with bigger splurges on goods and lodging.
