Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money. |
Americans should be feeling pretty good about their finances and the economy. |
Stocks partly rebounded from last week's selloff, which was largely triggered by a weak July jobs report, leaving the S&P 500 index 58% above its pre-pandemic level and total household wealth nearly 40% higher. The 4.3% unemployment rate is historically low, despite last month's rise. |
Disney's universe expands |
Disney revealed plans for new "lands" and theme-park experiences last weekend at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, California, Eve Chen reports. |
D23 is the official Disney fan club, and its biennial exposition serves as a gathering of some of Disney's biggest fans. The company announces new attractions, reveals movie and television projects and generally celebrates the Disney brand. This year's gathering comes at a time when theme-park attendance is slightly down. |

That's six times faster than overall inflation, and more than any food item at the grocery store, including eggs, over the past three years, according to insurance comparison site Jerry. |
And the rise isn't over, analysts say. |
