Positives outweigh negatives, but watch variants - March 2021

Will the implications of COVID-19 permanently alter our world? If history is any indication, probably not. This month, Chief Economist Eric Lascelles dives into past world events, and debunks the often-exaggerated, long-term predictions that followed. Eric also provides an update on global vaccination progress. While countries are making headway, virus variants could challenge these efforts. Finally, a look at the U.S. business cycle scorecard, and insight into the future of working from home.
