Forecast for U.S. GDP Growth

· Views 1,212

What is expected?

JP Morgan is getting some attention today after economists there forecast a negative GDP number in Q1 2021 because of the virus and middling signals on U.S. fiscal stimulus.
 
That's a long way from consensus, which is still bullish on the recovery. Expect that to change in the weeks ahead as the lockdowns mount.
 
Currently, the consensus forecast for Q4 is +4.0% q/q SAAR followed by 3.1% in Q1 and 3.3% in Q2. Is there a possibility in downgrading Q4 and Q1 forecasts while boosting the further-out quarters in 2021?
 
Let me know your thoughts on this, people. :)
