United States: the economy is resisting, with Fed remaining under pressure
The US economy looks like neither a machine running at full throttle nor an engine on the verge of stalling. It is ticking along reasonably well, with a labor market that is resisting, enough growth to keep recessionary fears at bay although, above all, inflation that still refuses to get back into a box. Taken together, the three most useful gauges for taking the economy's pulse (growth, inflation and jobs) point to a fairly resilient picture. However, that resilience does not bring markets back to the 2010s playbook. Rates remain high, the Federal Reserve has limited leeway and bonds no longer automatically provide the protection that investors assumed when yields were falling almost continuously.

Reading them is a bit less straightforward: AI-related demand remains extremely strong, but the peak in sequential acceleration now appears to be behind.
