Signal The US shows a structural uptick in productivity and rates alongside inflation above target
Summary
MGI reads the United States as showing a structural uptick in both productivity growth and interest rates against the prepandemic period, with productive investment recently growing on the back of the technology sector and high equity values signalling confidence while posing downside risk, even as inflation stays above the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target and government debt sits near all-time highs.
