Glonghui, May 23 | Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence: After two months of slow growth, the US economic recovery accelerated again. Preliminary PMI data showed that May saw the fastest expansion in more than two years. These data suggest that the US economy will once again achieve strong GDP growth in the second quarter. Not only did output rise as orders resumed growth, but business confidence also increased, which indicates brighter prospects for the year ahead. However, due to uncertainty about future inflation and interest rate trends, companies remain cautious about the economic outlook and continue to express concerns about geopolitical instability and the presidential election.
