Equifax reported a Q2 2026 pause in the widening K-shaped U.S. economy, with its Market Pulse Index edging up to 61.3.
Thrivers expanded 3.2% while Strivers fell 4.2%, the sharpest contraction since Q4 2023; the Middle grew 0.9%.
Assets, not income or credit scores, remained the key divider; nearly 78% of Thrivers held over $1 million in assets.
Over 97% of Strivers had under $100,000 in assets; 81% earned under $65,000, underscoring vulnerability to price shocks.
Financial stability improved across all generations; late payments eased to 1.9% from 2.1% despite consumer sentiment sliding to 49.5.
