Northern Trust: U.S. Economic Outlook, June 2021
|
It’s been great to see the economy reopen, releasing a tremendous surge of energy. But anxieties remain: Will the economy overheat? Are we on a course toward runaway inflation? Will the workforce return to its former size? While these are all good questions, current worries about the economy should be kept in context. These doubts are only arising because of a phenomenal rate of recovery.
The challenge before us is sorting the transient effects from more permanent changes to the economy. We continue to believe the foundation is in place for an historic year of growth, and any complications, like elevated inflation, will prove transitory. We also cannot entirely discount the risk of a renewed wave of infections that causes more lockdowns, but the effectiveness of vaccines against new variants thus far makes this less of a worry.
