Gross Domestic Product! - 12/23/25

The latest GDP report is in—and on the surface, it looks impressive. Strong consumer spending, rising corporate profits, and headlines that suggest the economy is firing on all cylinders.

In today's episode, we break down the GDP data beneath the headlines. We'll look at what's driving growth, what's being glossed over, and how traders and investors should interpret this report in the context of market positioning, liquidity, and incentives as the calendar winds down.
