Description: The latest Zacks Market Strategy report holds two provocative insights hailing from advanced (translation--rich) countries. First, rich nations other than the USA struggle to build any real GDP growth momentum. Second, their consumer price inflation looks subdued vis-à-vis the USA too.
The USA is staying only a step ahead of advanced country GDP growth doldrums, with +2.9% GDP growth for Q3-16.
On that relatively upbeat note, I found the Zacks Industry Ranks to show lots of medium upgrades -- and no real loser sectors this month.
