Good MorningThe FOMC held its June policy meeting this week and gave the market exactly what it wanted. The Fed says it will continue to support the economy via bond purchases and zero or near-zero interest rates through 2022.
The caveat is that near-term prospects are still dire. The economy is expected to contract sharply in the first half but just how sharply is yet to be seen. The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow tool is tracking near the -50% mark for the 2nd quarter and the FOMC sees full-year 2020 coming in near -6.5%.
What investors need to focus on is the FOMC's outlook for rebound. Although there is going to be a sharp, severe contraction in GDP in the 2 nd quarter the rebound is already underway. The U.S. economy should see sequential quarterly growth resume as soon as the 3 rd quarter and accelerate over the next two to three. Featured: Watch This Robotics Demo Before July 23rd
