According to a University of Michigan survey, folks are feeling a bit better about the economy in June, maybe 'cause that trade war ain't so loud anymore. Like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you're gonna get!

Mama Always Said...

Mama always said "Life is like a box of chocolates Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get." And this here news 'bout the economy well it's kinda like that box. See these folks over at the University of Michigan they did some surveyin'. Found out that people are feelin' a little less gloomy 'bout things. Seems like folks ain't so worried 'bout inflation no more. Makes me think of Lieutenant Dan. He was always worried but then he found peace... Eventually.

Run Forrest Run (from Inflation)!

Remember when I just kept runnin'? Well seems like folks were runnin' from the idea of prices goin' sky high. That University of Michigan survey it showed that people aren't expectin' inflation to jump up as much as they thought. Maybe it's 'cause all that talk 'bout President Trump's tariffs ain't so loud no more. He's been negotiatin' like playin' ping pong back and forth back and forth. Jenny always liked to go back and forth... if you know what I mean.

Current Conditions and Future Expectations

Now there's somethin' called the headline index of consumer sentiment. Don't ask me what that means exactly but it went up! Like when Bubba told me all about shrimp. It just kept goin' and goin'. The current conditions index also went up like when I got drafted into the army. And the future expectations? Sky high! I ran pretty fast but they went even faster.

Trump's Trade Talk: Like Peas and Carrots?

So it seems that after makin' a big announcement back in April President Trump has eased off on the trade war talk. He's givin' it a 90 day negotiation period. Like me and Jenny. We had our ups and downs but we always came back together like peas and carrots. Maybe this trade stuff can be like that too huh?

Still Some Worries Though...

Now don't go thinkin' everything's sunshine and roses. People are still a bit worried 'bout those tariffs and how they might make things more expensive. It's like when Lieutenant Dan was always lookin' for somethin' to be mad about. Folks still got some concerns but maybe not as much as before.

And That's All I Have to Say About That.

So there you have it. People are feelin' a bit better 'bout the economy. But there are still worries. Like Mama always said "You got to put the past behind you before you can move on." That's what I'm tryin' to do and that's what the economy's tryin' to do. And that's all I have to say about that.
