Calculated Risk 2018 Economic Forecast Update

[Viking]

US economy continues its to chug along... not too hot and not too cold. Should be very supportive for solid earnings for the big US banks who begin reporting results on Friday. With tax reform now in place BAC and JPM should report earnings per share growth of +30%. Amazing :-)

 

“It is early, but currently it looks like 2018 is unfolding as expected - although, based on Q1 data, employment gains might be slightly higher than I originally expected.”
