A near-term assessment of slower growth, softer demand, and downside risk.

Current conditions

Recent data suggest softer demand, tighter financial conditions, and uneven sector performance.

Outlook

The near-term outlook is slower but positive growth unless labor market weakness broadens.

Risks

Upside risk comes from firmer demand. Downside risk comes from tighter credit conditions or sharper employment weakness.
