Deep dives
Current Macroeconomic Trends
U.S. investors are currently focused on macroeconomic trends, particularly the transition from concerns over economic downturns to a more optimistic outlook on a potential soft landing. Consumption in the U.S. has been unexpectedly strong, with growth around 3% this year, primarily driven by wage increases outpacing inflation. As long as job security remains for Americans, consumer spending is likely to keep the economy stable. This shift indicates a growing confidence in the economy, which contrasts previous years' anxieties around inflation and potential downturns.
