🤔 My Thoughts 
 
 
McDonalds is one of the economic bellweather companies that can be used to glean insight into how the consumer feels. If things are good, McD's revenues are good. When things are bad, well, McD's is often the first to feel it. the fact that their sales dropped 1% (the first time since 2021), could be indicative of where the economy is heading. 

Up tomorrow is Starbucks, another one of those bellweather companies. That could give us a clearer picture.
