Let’s dive in!
Macro Trends
Interest Rates → 🟡
The Trump administration’s new policies are causing significant economic volatility in the U.S., making it difficult for the central bank to assess the situation clearly enough to adjust interest rates before late spring or summer.
GDP (U.S.) → 🟡
The US economy expanded an annualized 2.3% in Q4 2024, the slowest growth in three quarters, down from 3.1% in Q3 and in line with the advance estimate.
Inflation (U.S.) → ðŸŸ
The annual inflation rate in the US edged up to 3% in January 2025, compared to 2.9% in December 2024, and above market forecasts of 2.9%, indicating stalled progress in curbing inflation.
Composite PMI (U.S.) → 🟡
The S&P Global US Composite PMI came in at 51.6 in February 2025, revised up from the preliminary estimate of 50.4 but down from the previous month's 52.7. This marked the slowest pace of expansion in the US private sector since April 2024, with service sector growth slowing to a 15-month low. In contrast, manufacturing output saw a significant increase. New orders rose, but at a slower rate, while employment declined for the first time in three months.
The index is based on data collected from a representative panel of over 800 companies and follows variables such as sales, new orders, employment, inventories and prices. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in business activity while below 50 points to contraction.
Unemployment Rate (U.S.) → ðŸŸ
The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 4.1% in February 2025, up from 4.0% in January and slightly exceeding market expectations of 4.0%. The number of unemployed individuals increased by 203,000 to 7.05 million, while employment declined by 588,000 to 163.31 million.
