First of all, you have at least whats perceived to be some economic strength or resiliency. Maybe not robust growth. Still, in the eurozone and the u. S. , yes, i know the eurozone is stepied at best and may be slipping back to recession but its holding in there and the u. S. Holding it better than most economies out there.
