The estimated Social Security COLA for 2027 may reach 4.7%, an increase from a previous forecast of 4.2%, driven by rising consumer prices, which experienced a 4.2% increase over the past 12 months.

SpaceX IPO Not Included in S&P 500 Index Fund for One Year
The S&P 500 Index committee decided not to include SpaceX (SPACE) in the index for at least one year following its IPO, the largest in history, which began trading on the Nasdaq with an initial valuation above $2 trillion. This decision means investors in S&P 500 ETFs such as Vanguard's VOO, BlackRock's IVV, or SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY) won't gain exposure to SpaceX until mid-2027, while Nasdaq and Russell indexes will update their rules to include it. As nearly $2 trillion is invested in S&P 500 funds, this could impact investor strategies, pushing them towards the Nasdaq 100 or Russell 1000 for exposure to SpaceX. The divergence in index inclusion policies may create performance variances across major indexes.
