US dollar is a burden for the US economy

Both the current situation and the expectation values of the US economy have slowed this month.

Somewhat surprisingly, however, is that we measure a significant damper for the German economy. Particularly as the rest of the euro zone is in a robust constitution. For the Euro zone, the current situation index rises to its highest level since 2011. Furthermore, the overall index improves as well.
