It reached a peak of 6.5 in June 2021, followed by a significant decline to a trough of -25.0 in September 2022. The latest reading of -8.2 indicates a recovery from the trough but remains below the historical average. Recent momentum shows mixed signals, with a slight decline over the past year (-0.1 percentage points) but a positive shift over six months (0.7 percentage points). Yearly averages reflect a volatile pattern, with notable dips in 2020 and 2022, and a gradual improvement in subsequent years.",
