The US economy on a moderate growth path

• Real GDP growth will pick up from 2.5% in 2015 to 2.7% in 2016.

• Consumer spending is supported by solid gains in employment, real

disposable income, and housing asset values.

• Housing construction will steadily recover in response to rising

employment, easing credit, and a higher household formation rate.

• Business investment in equipment, software, and commercial

structures will post robust growth.

• A two-year federal budget agreement and suspension of the debt

ceiling boosts near-term spending and reduces policy uncertainty.

• Interest rates will gradually increase from late 2015 through 2018 as

monetary accommodation is withdrawn.

The recovery in housing markets is gaining momentum

• Sustained job growth will support increases in housing demand.

• Credit availability is improving for home buyers and builders.

• Supplies of new and existing homes are tight, driving up prices.

• Multifamily units will account for about one-third of housing starts.

• Young adults have postponed homeownership, resulting in pent-up

demand.

• Sales to first-time buyers are rising rapidly.

• Baby boomers are starting to downsize.

Nonresidential fixed investment has slowed

• Most companies are investing at steady rates

• However, companies exposed to foreign competition (manufacturing),

low oil and gas prices, and falling agricultural prices have cut capital

spending sharply

• Agricultural machinery is down 48% year-over-year, due to falling agricultural

prices

• Mining and oilfield machinery equipment is down 48% year-over-year—blame

low oil prices

• Railroad equipment is down 56% year-over-year

• Special industrial machinery is down 20% year-over-year, thanks to the

strong dollar

• Mine and well structures are down 44% year-over-year

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 brings some clarity to

federal fiscal policy

• The federal debt ceiling is suspended through March 2017.

• The federal government is funded through September 2017.

• Budget authority is increased by $50 billion in fiscal 2016 and $30 billion in

fiscal 2017 from previous budget caps.

• These increments are divided equally between defense and nondefense

discretionary spending.

• An omnibus appropriations bill must still be enacted by 11 December.

• Consistent with Congressional Budget Office estimates, we assume that

outlays are increased by $30 billion in both 2016 and 2017, and the

remainder is spread through 2021.

• The agreement is expected to raise the level of real GDP by 0.2% in

2016 and 0.1% in 2017.

A gradual acceleration in the global economy

• The world economy remains in low gear; only a modest pickup in

growth is expected in 2016.

• Eurozone growth will improve slightly, aided by monetary stimulus,

currency depreciation, and pent-up demand.

• China’s economic growth will slow further in 2016 because of

imbalances in credit, housing, and industrial markets.

• The plunge in materials prices is restraining growth in the commodity-

exporting countries of the Americas, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

• Prospects for emerging markets depend on structural reforms that raise

productivity and allocate capital more efficiently.

Bottom line for the US economy

• Consumer spending will be supported by gains in employment, real

disposable income, and household net worth.

• Homebuilding will rise as credit availability improves and demand from

young adults strengthens.
