Are Delta Variant Fears Slowing Down the Economy

There was an interesting article in Barron’s this weekend about the Federal Reserve's decision to move its upcoming symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming virtually.

The article included some indicators that the economy might be slowing down.

• TSA is showing a slowdown, with the number of check-ins on Friday being 10% lower than the high point in mid-July

• Data from OpenTable is showing a decline in reservations

• Economists at Oxford Economics who have a Recovery Tracker say the economy has stalled as consumers become more cautious.
