Meanwhile, Christina Lagarde, the European Central Bank president, stated that the world had not witnessed such severe economic shock since the Second World War. The economic recovery of the European Union remains very uncertain, uneven, and incomplete, Lagarde mentioned. 

The US faces struggles with the uncertainty of the economic recovery. 

The Chicago Fed National Activity Index for August hit 0.79 and dropped short of expectations of 1.95. Furthermore, the index’s three-month moving average collapsed to 3.05 from 4.23 in July.
