US | Recovery Tracker blossoms as temperatures rise

US Recovery Tracker blossoms as temperatures rise - iPad

The US Recovery Tracker rose 1.3ppts to 90.2 in the week ended April 9, its first reading above 90 since March 2020 and its seventh consecutive weekly gain. Progress was broad-based despite a slight worsening of health conditions as improving economic activity and rising vaccinations offset the climb in cases.

What you will learn:

  • Positive vaccine developments indicate the pandemic should remain contained. 
  • Stronger mobility led the weekly gain as households capitalized on warmer weather and broader vaccine diffusion. 
  • Regional recoveries firmed, with 33 states recording higher readings.

Takaichi’s big win doesn’t affect the fiscal outlook for Japan

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) landslide election victory on Sunday doesn't change our expectation of a primary fiscal deficit of 2%-3% of GDP in FY2026-FY2028 – we still see the deficit only starting to decline from FY2029. We also keep our view that the 10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yield will be at 2.3% at end-2026 and 2.5% at end-2027 and beyond.
