Michigan, five to ten year inflation expectations rising to 4.4% versus the expectation here of 4.1%. One year inflation also coming in hot, the expectation for 5.2%, the actual number coming in at 6.7%. You can see as I'm reading the numbers the S&P 500 flipping negative here. And also want to mention another stat that we're seeing in the University of Michigan sentiment data, the survey indicating a 53.8% eight level coming in below that at 50.8. And again, University of Michigan expectations coming in a little bit soft as well. Want to get you that five to ten year inflation number also coming in just a bit hot at 4 4.4% above the estimate which was 4.3% here. So looking like investors and consumers, I should say, for consumer sentiment data are anticipating a little bit more inflation to come than the survey had estimated. You've also got your NASDAQ flipping between the between red and green this morning flipping negative just for a moment here off the back of these numbers.
