US Macro Overview July 18, 2014

Page 3: Small Business & Agriculture Advisory Council Federal ...€¦ · 10:30am Introductory Remarks Christine Cumming, First Vice President 10:40am-11:10am The National Economy Richard

Overview

• Growth of real GDP over the first half of 2014 has been marked down to essentially zero. • Revised data suggests that underlying growth rate of real consumer spending may be somewhat

lower, and the equilibrium personal saving rate may be somewhat higher. • Several indicators point to stronger growth in the second half of the year.

• At the same time, • Labor market conditions are firming, and the unemployment rate continues to fall faster than

expected. • Core inflation increasing somewhat sooner than expected. • Suggests that the economy's potential growth rate may be lower than we had been assuming.

• The recent increase of inflation coincides with a slowing of productivity growth, leading to faster growth of unit labor costs and a narrowing of profits margins. • This has lead some analysts to conclude that the Fed is “behind the curve”. • However, our research suggests that inflation expectations are the main driver of inflation, and

those expectations remain stable. • If this view of the inflation process is correct, profit margins will come under downward pressure.
