The U.S. Economic Outlook: How Much
Life After the Election?
The U.S. recovery is slowing down, but only to trend growth.
Although the outlook for 3.5% growth, 5% unemployment,
and 2% inflation may be disappointing to some, through
the 70s and 80s we would have considered it a daydream.
The Fed will continue to tighten, however, gradually bringing
interest rates back to "neutral." The risks remain high,
and center on the Middle East, oil, and terror.
