Consumer Bifurcation Forming, Volatility Curb Set-Up for Santa Calus Rally?

Futures experienced a halt in trading for Friday, though Tom White notes a curb in volatility as the bigger story investors should keep in mind. He adds that investors appear to be rotating into "beaten down" sectors like healthcare, showing the market pulse has stayed strong. What has raised yellow flags for Tom: a bifurcation between consumer sentiment and spending. He points to Costco (COST) as a retail bellwether. As for the A.I. trade, Tom touches on Oracle's (ORCL) "red flag" in its $38 billion loan for OpenAI data centers.
