Key Quotes
“Activity is grinding to a halt as one-off factors dissipate. Our models point to few gains in the economy in August, with services and manufacturing both stagnant, while construction provides a meagre boost to nudge growth into positive territory. Risks are tilted toward no growth at all. July momentum should keep Q3 growth looking healthy, even if only superficially.”
