Goldman Sachs Has 5 Reasons To Be More Optimistic About The US Economy

By on August 3, 2012

The most recent US data has been somewhat mixed. Not good enough to instill confidence in the recovery, but not quite bad enough to push the Fed into action. The optimism of the first part of this year has been tempered by the summer slowdown.

  • An ongoing housing recovery
  • Expanding industrial activity
  • Steady, if slow, employment growth
  • Continued disinflation

Here’s a table of what that data has looked like, and where Goldman sees it going:
