DYAX 전담 분석
Although the UK construction PMI improved to 46.1, it remains below 50, limiting a full-fledged rebound in the construction and real estate sectors. On the other hand, projections of increased oil and gas demand enhance the investment appeal of energy companies.
Key monitoring points include whether construction indicators will improve further and the earnings of energy firms like Chevron. A prolonged economic downturn could sustain weakness in construction and real estate.
