“The New York Fed Staff Nowcast stands at 1.4% for 2019:Q1 and 1.5% for 2019:Q2,” the Federal Reserve Bank of New York announced on Friday.
“News from this week’s data releases increased the nowcast for 2019:Q1 by 0.5 percentage point and increased the nowcast for 2019:Q2 by 0.3 percentage point.”
“The increase was driven by positive surprises from housing data and the ISM non-manufacturing survey, which was only partially offset by negative surprises from labor data.”
