Retail sales just whiffed hard. Headline down 0.6% vs +0.1% expected, core down 0.2% vs +0.3% est. Consumer's tapping out faster than consensus thought. This hits payment processors, consumer discretionary names, and anything levered to spending velocity. Watch $V $MA $AXP for near-term pressure. If this trend holds, Fed's got more room to cut than the market's pricing in—but that's a double-edged sword for growth stocks. Semis and AI infrastructure might catch a bid if rates come down, but cons...
