2022: Moderate GDP, Persistent Inflation

December 31, 2021 By Brian S. Wesbury

Moderate GDP, Persistent Inflation 20 December 2021 From 30,000 feet, the COVID lockdown and re-opening played out pretty much like we thought. GDP collapsed in the first half of 2020, then exploded in the third quarter, followed by strong, but erratic, quarterly growth ever since. The fourth quarter data, when it’s released in January, will show 2021 had the fastest GDP … [Read more...] about 2022: Moderate GDP, Persistent Inflation

However, the underlying tone of recent comments from Governing Council members suggests that the majority are not overly … [Read more...] about ECB – Still erring on the side of caution

Stocks versus the Economy

September 29, 2021 By Brian S. Wesbury

We recently raised our forecast for the S&P 500, but lowered our forecast for real GDP growth. How can that be? The first thing to recognise is that when we say we’re bullish on stocks that doesn’t mean we think the stock market is going to go up every day, every week, or even every month. It won’t. Nor does it exclude the possibility of a correction in equities, which … [Read more...] about Stocks versus the Economy
