The Week in perspective
--:--
Three major global problems have dominated headlines and weighed on markets.
First, supply-chain snarls are straining everything from USPS delivery to Grape Nuts availability. Second, a chip shortage is slowing production of GM trucks, gaming consoles, and lots more. Third, a surge in ransomware cyberattacks has disrupted a large variety of organizations, including beef suppliers and big governments.
Meanwhile, the IMF lowered its forecast for 2021 global economic growth this week but raised South Africa's outlook.
