Welcome back to MktContext where we study the US economy and time the stock market.

Current stock market timer: BULLISH

The restaurant trades we recommended just a few weeks ago are breaking out, confirming our consumer spending thesis. Bloomin’ Brands (BLMN) broke out of consolidation on strong earnings. It is up nearly +40% from our entry point.

From the earnings reports, it is evident that restaurant foot traffic and consumer spending is returning in a major way. We were able to catch the inflection before it happened.
