August 2018 Economic Outlook

The global economy continues to show signs of steady, sustainable, moderate growth. In the U.S., we see modest above trend economic growth over the next 12 months, with low recession risk. Rising trade tension is a concern, but for now, the economy should be able to withstand some drag from escalating, protectionist trade actions.

Risk is not knowing what you’re doing.
