Eurozone slips into recession

Hey guys, it's not my time for a post, but I stumbled across this interesting article on Al-Jazeera's website. Apparently things are rough in markets all over the world. Germany, the mainstay of the European market, is thought to be the main cause of this, but other countries are struggling as well. It also mentions that Hong Kong recently announced a recession too. It even said that the US did better this past quarter than the Eurozone. Can we expect our economy to improve if the European economy does, and vice versa?
