Strength of the U.S. Economy
The U.S. economy is currently exhibiting robust growth compared to struggling economies in regions like Germany, China, and Japan. This strength is underscored by high levels of stimulation expected from potential tax cuts and deregulation possibly initiated by the incoming Trump administration.
