Overview: Counterpoint's Macro Index declined slightly to 88.45 at the end of Q2 2024, from 90.01 in Q1 2024. The three-month outlook is expected to improve slightly. The political environment remains tense, but tech sentiment remains buoyant. We maintain a positive 12-month outlook. This uptick can be attributed to improving economic prospects across most regions, as inflation continues to trend lower while business activity increases. Tech sentiment remains high due to continued AI frenzy, key semiconductor indicators on the recovery, and a rebound in consumer sentiment. However, global conflict remains tense, while the political situation reaches a boiling point in both the US and Europe. Table of Contents:
