The US economy may be showing signs of slowing, but it will take time to confirm this trend. One key indicator to watch is the employment report, which was recently released in early June. This report will provide insights into the state of the economy. The next employment report is due on Friday, July 5th and many are eagerly anticipating its release.
In addition to the employment report, there has been a lot of economic data released recently that supports the theory of a cooling economy. Consumer spending has softened in April and retail sales were lower than expected in May, raising concerns about future GDP growth. Another factor to consider is the housing market, which has seen a lack of inventory and slower homebuyer activity, possibly due to higher interest rates.
Despite these challenges, there are still bright spots in the macroeconomic landscape. Some sectors, such as information technology, are showing promise. Three tech stocks to watch are GE Aerospace, Arista Networks and Tokyo Electron, which are performing well in the current economic environment.
Overall, while uncertainties exist in the US economy, there are still opportunities for growth and success. John Blank provides insights and analysis on these developments as our Chief Equity Strategist and Economist with me Terry Ruffolo at [Company Name].
