# Which Chart Is the Odd One Out? Three Macro Charts Tell the Same Story. One Doesn't. Published: 2026-05-31 Four-chart US macro one-pager (May 2026) asking the spot-the-odd-one-out question. Three charts show rising stress - U-6 underemployment at 8.2% (climbing since 2023, up from 6.7% Jan 2023 and past 8.7% Peak 2025), personal saving rate down to 2.6% (from 6.4% peak 2024 and 4.9% Jan 2023, the cushion is nearly gone), consumer 90 DPD loss rate at 3.4% (past the pre-GFC 3.06% reference, worst at credit unions and non-bank lenders). The fourth chart: S&P 500 at a record 7,580, up 86% over the three-year window. Three macro-stress charts in one direction; the index chart in the other.
