How is the health of the US economy? | Morning Markets

As we look to the week ahead, Paul Durrans, Investment Director, looks at the recent decision from the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates and some of the key US economic data that will be coming through this week. This week, members of the Federal Reserve voting committee will be giving their perspectives on the health of the US economy and the strength of labour markets. In recent months investors have moved on from inflation concerns to economic growth uncertainty. Key economic data points this week, such as consumer confidence, will give a good gauge of the strength of the economy.
