August
August data were widely used to reassess US economic strength: payrolls were revised lower, the trade deficit widened sharply, household savings fell, and housing sales weakened 1732333840. Analysts also highlighted strong August gold buying by central banks 210, record data-centre construction 27, and robust consumption despite falling real wages 1925. The main disagreement is whether August’s apparent strength reflects genuine momentum or distorted, temporary, or unsustainable activity 254144.
