8/19/19 Tweaking Our Forecasts Due to Ongoing Trade Conflict

We are tweaking our 2019 forecasts to reflect increased risk to economic growth and corporate profits from the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China. Although we continue to expect resolution later this year or in early 2020, the odds of a more prolonged dispute have risen. As a result, we think it is prudent to slightly reduce our forecasts for economic growth, interest rates, and corporate profits. Look for more on our revised forecasts in upcoming weekly publications and blogs.
