2024 MIDYEAR OUTLOOK

What's more, American consumers are helping to support growth in the rest of the world. Here’s what to watch for in the months and years to come.

“People used to say if the U.S. sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. But the opposite is also true. When it’s firing on all cylinders, the U.S. can help other export-oriented economies.”
