In the US, the climate indicator declined again, after having sunk dramatically in the second quarter, bringing it to its lowest level since 1991. The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index fell in June 2008 to its lowest level in decades and has since recovered only insignificantly.
在美国，景气指标在第二季度急剧下降后再次下降，已经降低到自1991年以来的最低水平。密歇根大学消费者信心指数在2008年6月份降低到几十年来的最低水平，并且此后回升甚微。在欧元区也是如此，Ifo经济景气指数纪录了该地区经济指数的急剧下降。
