The global economy started to bounce higher pretty nicely in May and June, after the big crash during the lock-downs. But, it started showing signs of weakness in In July and more so in August, as the economic rebound slowed. The US economy on the other hand, has been showing the opposite, as it keeps growing.
Last week we saw some decent figures from the US, while yesterday the ISM manufacturing indicator for August jumped higher. So, the US and the European economies are walking on different paths right now. Below is the manufacturing report:
