Why does US growth matter to us?
The US is a huge global economy. Strong growth there often leads to higher demand for goods and services, including energy. This can push up global prices, affecting everyone. Also, if the US economy is doing well, its currency (the dollar) often strengthens, making other currencies like the pound relatively weaker.
