Economics - tailwinds - headwinds.

In economics, tailwinds are favourable conditions in the general economy, or in a specific market sector.

In this context, a tailwind is the opposite of a headwind.


A crosswind is a condition that may have either favourable or adverse effects - or both - in a less predictable way.


The terms derive from shipping and air travel.
