Social Security cost-of-living adjustment for 2026: Why some retirees 'wish it would be more'
Why it matters
Social Security beneficiaries will receive a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2026, but some retirees are hoping for a larger increase due to ongoing debate over the measurement method.
Expected market reaction
Low to moderate, as the COLA affects a specific segment of the population (retirees) and is not directly tied to broader market indicators.
