“The main uncertainty is inventories. They witnessed another negative quarter in Q2 and our economists look for them to add a sizeable 0.5ppts to headline GDP in Q3. That would mark an end to the inventory drawdown cycle seen in the US over the last five quarters, which would mean stronger growth going forward.”
