...and the ATL Fed's projections are far greater than all of the other economists. Seems like 4% is iffy.

Did you read the article, no it isn't. It's supposedly predicted to, but no link to the Atlanta Fed's story is provided.

Should be prefaced that this is a second quarter projection using a moving forecast that is not the official projection of the Atlanta Fed.

Last month started off high and plummeted by the end. And GDP and forecasts tend to fluctuate throughout the year. Peaks and valleys based on a number of factors:



It should also be noted this particular forecast model has historically had a greater deviation from the quarterly GDP release data the further out it is from that release(pretty much universally common in forecasting models for obvious reasons):


This forecast used in the OP is currently 72 days out from that release. So volatility is particularly high. The historical margin of error could be upwards of 2% in either direction.


For further context though, this is one of many forecast models, so just picking any one is probably unwise. Let alone so early in the forecast cycle.

For instance the NY Fed's Nowcast currently has their Q2 GDP projection at 1.9%. So there is some major deviations going on between models.

Moral of the story, it is kind of disingenuous(if not completely reckless) to run a story that doesn't provide some of that important and necessary context.

Don't let the facts get in the way of Trumpkins celebrating so much winning.

My polite advice would just be to take this as a lesson learned. That perhaps Breit-Bart should cease to be a trusted source for the OP.

That sounds pretty low based on recent data we've seen these past few weeks. Would be a massive disappointment frankly.

For months, I've been trying to tell the resident simpletons here that business & the economy is going to boom under Trump. The MSM is trying to destroy Trump, but the American people aren't going to be listening to their lies when times are good.

We never even had a single quarter of 3% growth under the "leadership" of the Mr. "You didn't build that" race-baiting POS community agitator that some of you fools worshipped (but won't admit it now).

You might want to temper that hubris until you read the rest of the thread chief. Just saying.
