In 2017 the global economy broke out of a rut. It grew by 3.8%, the fastest pace since 2011. Surging animal spirits _ (1) _ [occurs] a rebound in business investment across the rich world. In the first quarter America’s growth slowed to 2.3%, annualised, from close to 3% in the _ (2) _[former] six months. At the same time, Japan’s economy _ (3) _ [weaken] by 0.6%, ending a growth spurt sustained since the start of 2016. Investors have begun to wonder if the period of global _ (4) _ [energy] is over. Meanwhile, the slow upward march of American bond yields the result of expectations of higher inflation and interest rates has turned the screw on emerging-market currencies, which have fallen by 5.4% since the start of April.

In any case, it is driven at least partly by demand, reflecting healthy growth. The biggest risk to the world economy remains the possibility of a trade war. Mr. Trump is _ (9) _ [discussed] with China and others with the aim of closing America’s trade deficit. That is difficult to square with a rising dollar sucking in imports. The danger is that slightly slower global growth, combined with ongoing stimulus in America, lays bare this problem and further _ (10) _ [induced] Mr. Trump’s protectionism. That could set off a downturn that would really be worth worrying about.
