N.Y. Fed raises U.S. fourth-quarter GDP growth view to near 4 percent

The New York Federal Reserve on Friday raised its estimate of U.S. gross domestic product growth for the fourth quarter of 2017 closer to 4 percent, based on revisions of prior data that suggested stronger economic activities.

The regional central bank’s “Nowcast” model calculated the economy was expanding at an annualized pace of 3.98 percent in the fourth quarter, quicker than the 3.92 percent rate calculated a week ago.

The New York Fed said its latest tracking estimate on GDP growth for the first three months of next year was 3.15 percent, compared with 3.12 percent from last week.

Obama' masterful plan finally coming to fruition. It took him 8 years to get it jump-started but it's finally here.

it's amazing what happens with the economy when you have a president who realizes that all you need to do is just get the gov't the frick out of the way.

With tax reform, things should really start rolling along. If only we could get Obamacare repealed.

Things seem to be really hopping right now, but im concerned for the first quarter of next year due to transportation regulations (ELDs) being enacted today, started under Obama's DOT. I fear it is going to drastically inflate the cost of goods across the nation, but what do i know.

Alleviate my concerns.

Quarterly growth is quarterly growth. We had consecutive quarters of 4.6% and 5.2% in Q2 and Q3 of 2014. Those quarters were followed by more "normal" growth rates through the end of 2016 and into 2017. Consistency is what really matters.

The question for the middle class is: what will the overall "trickle down" effect be from all this growth? It just depends on where the growth comes from. Outsourcing labor and growth in the tech market aren't necessarily a boon to the middle class. We shall see what happens.

Honestly, Majority of the carriers have been ELD compliant for some time now. Prices have acclimated in my opinion. There might be a slight bump but most of it has already taken place

How much longer will you be able to die on this hill, dude? The economy is the strongest it has been since the 90s, both the data and the consumer sentiment polls show it

Cheaper goods and better, more efficient technology aren't a boon to the middle class?

Despite the globalists throwing everything at it over the last 25 years, the United States is not merely a service economy, certainly not at the level anyone would call middle class.

consumer sentiment means little except as a leading GDP indicator of dubious reliability

and "the data" has shown no such thing yet. certainly not as a whole

Can you imagine the reaction of the mainstream media if all this was being accomplished under a Dimm president? They would have a permanent collective erection.

It will be interesting to see how many Dimms vote "yes" on the tax bill and how difficult it will be for them to explain their "no" vote in the next election cycle.

4% That's madness. You can't just wave a magic wand and get 4%. Everyone needs to be content with 1%
