l****z 发帖数: 29846 | 1 Why Are Economists' Predictions So Damn Awful?
Economists have bought into the transitory soft patch thesis of the Fed,
hook line and sinker. Please consider Economists’ Forecast: Here We Grow
Again.
Forecasters in the latest Wall Street Journal survey estimated the U.S.
economy contracted at a 0.3% pace in the first quarter because of hits from
winter weather and the West Coast port slowdown. But the panel, on average,
sees annualized economic growth of 2.8% in the second quarter, supported... 阅读全帖 |

l****z 发帖数: 29846 | 2 3rd Quarter GDPNow Estimate a Weak 0.7% Despite Retail Sales Jump
The Retail Sales Upward Revisions will likely add a couple ticks to second
quarter GDP, but overall growth still remains very weak.
GDP as Reported
1st Quarter: +0.6%
2nd Quarter: +2.3%
The retail sales revisions may add another 0.2% or so to second quarter,
assuming there are no other changes. That's a huge assumption given the
history of revisions in nearly every economic number.

New Seasonal Pattern?
Yesterday Fed Governor Stanley Fischer proclaimed U.S. Economy Should
Rebound After ‘Poor’ First Quarter.
“There’s definitely a rebound on the way already, and we’ll see at
what speed it proceeds,” Mr. Fischer said during an interview on CNBC. “
The first quarter was poor. That seems to be a new seasonal pattern. It’s
been that way for about four of the last five years.

2011年(7.5%)以及2010年(4.8%)同期表現。

l*****a 发帖数: 300 | 7 美元在今年上半年的表现差强人意,但是考虑到去年年底各方形形色色的预期,这也就
没什么奇怪的了。
各方对2017年底欧元兑美元汇率的预期从不高于1:0.97到高达1:1.15。许多“美元看
涨”预期主要是受到去年美国总统大选后美元汇率迅猛增势的影响。他们的想法是,特
朗普政府和共和党控制的国会能够通过减税和增加基础设施建设开支往经济中注入大量
具有刺激作用的强心剂,从而加快利率上调的速度。
尽管去年12月以来美联储连着三次上调利率,但是美元兑欧元汇率跌至了一年最低水平
。此外,美元兑英镑、日元汇率也下滑了。
事实上,过去六个月美元较其他主要货币跌了约5%到8%的原因是显而易见的。自年初以
来,美国经济数据越来越疲软,而欧元区经济相对改善,恰恰就在这个时候,人们对税
制改革和基础设施开支成功实施的预期发生了改变。
周四,衡量美元兑其它六种主要货币汇率变化情况的洲际交易所美元指数下滑了0.4%至
95.596点,这使得该指数年初至今下滑了6.5%。经过了为期数月的讨论,参议院针对“
废除和更换平价医疗法案”问题的相关立法仍悬而未决。
人们普遍认为,立法者们在决定医疗改革法案是废是留前无法开始... 阅读全帖 |
