Version 1.27 (2024-07-18 16:05:46.377000)

updates: The U.S. economy is transitioning to below-trend growth from above-trend growth seen in the last quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, according to analysts from the Florida Office of Economic and Demographic Research. The transition is driven by factors such as the ongoing effects of past monetary tightening, tightening of lending standards on loans to consumers and businesses, and a strong cessation in equity values. Nonfarm job growth was higher than expected at 2% and 1.5% over previous estimates of 0.5% and 0.3%. Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 1.7% over the year, and the unemployment rate remained slightly lower at 1.4% in June 2024. Real consumer spending growth in the fourth quarter was 3.3%, and grew 1.5% in the first quarter of 2024 as expected. Consumer price inflation was higher than expected at 3.8% for the first quarter, and personal income grew faster than expected at 7%. Mortgage rates were lower than expected at 6.76% in the first quarter. Existing family home sales were higher than expected, but still at historically low levels. The median single-family home price declined more than expected in the fourth quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2024. Light vehicle sales and business investment remained close to expectations. Apartment rent growth in the U.S. has been slower than expected in the first half of 2024. RealPage's Q2 2024 apartment forecast predicts that about half of the top 50 U.S. markets will see annual rent growth between 2% and 3% this year, while a quarter of markets will have growth between 1% and 2%. Eighteen percent of markets are expected to have rent growth below 1%, and some markets may not see any rent growth at all. Atlanta and Jacksonville are the only cities expected to experience rent cuts of 1% or more.

The United States has already resumed its pre-pandemic growth trajectory, with GDP expected to grow by 2.7% this year.

Version 0.96 (2024-06-11 19:59:36.849000)

updates: The World Bank's outlook for global growth has been upgraded to 2.6% in 2024, supported by the strength of sustained growth in the United States. The US economy is expected to expand by 2.5% in 2024. However, global growth remains sluggish compared to pre-pandemic levels. The report emphasizes the challenges faced by emerging market and developing countries, including high debt, high interest rates, and increased trade barriers [7f3a9757].

Version 0.95 (2024-06-11 19:53:40.233000)

updates: Upgraded global growth forecast, increased US growth projection, challenges faced by emerging market and developing countries, concerns about heavy debts and high interest rates, emphasis on addressing trade barriers

Version 0.94 (2024-06-11 17:54:30.326000)

updates: The World Bank warns about the consequences of sustaining elevated interest rates for a longer period. It states that this can lead to slower growth and urges countries to avoid a lower-for-longer economic growth scenario. The bank expresses concerns about faltering trade and highlights the importance of addressing issues such as heavy debts and high interest rates in order to achieve sustainable growth. Many countries, including China, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa, are already experiencing economic strain. The World Bank expects emerging market and developing countries to collectively grow by 4% in 2024. The report also warns that interest rates will remain double their 2000-2019 average in the next three years, which will hamper growth and add debt pressure to emerging market countries. The report states that countries representing 80% of the world's population and GDP output will see weaker growth through 2026 than before the pandemic. The World Bank also highlights the risks of armed conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, which could have spillover effects on global shipping, oil prices, and inflation. Trade restrictions driven by geopolitical rivalries and rising protectionism could also hamper global trade volume growth. On the upside, the U.S. economy is defying predictions of a downturn and is expected to boost global growth if productivity and labor supply due to immigration prove persistent. The World Bank's report also mentions the impressive resilience of the U.S. economy, which has remained buoyant despite monetary policy tightening. However, consumer spending in the U.S. has been affected, with fewer consumers having enough savings and adjusting their spending habits accordingly. The report concludes that the world, especially developing economies, has yet to rediscover a reliable path to prosperity.

The upgraded forecast reflects confidence in the strength of the US economy, which has been a key driver of global growth. The World Bank now expects the US GDP to grow by 2.5% in 2024, a significant increase from the previous projection of 1.6% in January. Consumer spending and business investment have contributed to the expansion of the US economy, and the revised forecast suggests that it will continue to support global growth in the coming year. China's economy is expected to decelerate to 4.8% this year from 5.2% in 2023. The World Bank projects the Eurozone GDP growth to remain unchanged at 0.7% for 2024.

Version 0.54 (2024-05-30 20:54:20.411000)

updates: The US economy grew at a slower pace than initially estimated in the first quarter of 2024, with the gross domestic product (GDP) expanding at an annual rate of 1.3%, down from the previously reported 1.6%. The downward revision was primarily due to a downward revision in consumer spending. Consumer spending rose at a 2% annual rate, compared to the previous estimate of 2.5%. Spending on goods fell at a 1.9% annual pace, while services spending rose at a healthy 3.9% rate. Despite the slower growth, the US economy has remained resilient with low unemployment and a strong job market. The outlook for the US economy going forward is uncertain, and the Federal Reserve may delay interest rate cuts to address inflation. The downward revision in GDP figures suggests that the Federal Reserve's efforts to cool the economy through high interest rates are having an impact as consumers are increasingly hesitant to spend due to higher prices. The revision in GDP figures brings the first-quarter growth rate to the lowest since Q2 2022. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index growth for Q1 was revised down to 3.6%. Weekly jobless claims rose more than expected.

Version 0.06 (2024-01-04 15:19:34.627000)

updates: The final reading of the US December S&P Global services PMI came in at 51.4, slightly higher than the preliminary reading of 51.3. The composite PMI also increased to 51.4 from the preliminary reading of 51.0. New orders rose at the sharpest rate since, and service providers recorded a steeper rise in input costs. However, there was a slower uptick in output charges. The final reading sets up the ISM services report, which is expected to be released tomorrow. Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, stated that the PMI signals an acceleration of growth in the services economy, overshadowing a downturn in manufacturing. He also mentioned that the demand environment remains challenging, with the struggling manufacturing sector dampening demand for business-to-business services and consumers being less inclined to spend on luxuries. The slower rate of price increase in December is welcome news, particularly in the sector of inflation. S&P Global also reported a renewed contraction in new export orders, driven by lower purchasing power among customers in key export markets. This highlights the dichotomy between the US and elsewhere, which could lead to less inflation in the US.
