Q4 seen at 2.0% - Unchanged from last week
In the NY Fed's words:
- The New York Fed Staff Nowcast stands at 1.5% for 2017:Q3 and 2.0% for 2017:Q4.
- The effect of news from this week's data releases was small, decreasing the nowcast for Q3 by 0.1 percentage point and leaving the nowcast for Q4 broadly unchanged.
- The impact of data revisions and negative surprises from housing and consumption data outweighed positive surprises from manufacturing data.
