## Resource

The big things you need to know: First, in tandem with the 5% decline in the S&P 500, investor and consumer sentiment have slipped in recent updates as investors have digested the possibility of a longer conflict in Iran and consumers have started to notice higher gas prices. Second, we review our macro takeaways from RBC’s Financial Institutions conference, where we detected echoes of the lingering confidence and emerging concerns that are seen in the surveys we discuss.
