Revisions to previously
published data slightly boosted
estimates of economic growth
for the first half of 2015 but
slightly reduced economic
growth over the past three years.
Inventory building added to
growth during the first half of
the year and will reduce real
GDP growth in the current
quarter. Consumer spending,
homebuilding and commercial
construction are all improving.

Nonfarm employment growth has picked up over the past year and the unemployment rate has
fallen sharply. Wages are only rising modestly, however, as productivity growth remains
exceptionally weak. Broader measures of wages only show modestly stronger growth.

Oil prices collapsed in late 2014 and early 2015. The number of active oil rigs has subsequently
fallen sharply. While there are some tentative signs that the rig count has bottomed, another
slide in energy prices and another downturn in the rig count cannot be ruled out.

U.S. yields have tended to follow
Eurozone yields. The bounce
back from earlier lows reflects
greater comfort with the growth
and inflation outlooks. The
latest iteration of the Greek
crisis led to only a modest
pullback in yields but growth
and inflation prospects have
been scaled back a bit.

Economic Outlook
 We still look for the Fed to raise the federal funds rate
this fall but the pace and ultimate magnitude of rate
hikes now looks to be less than previously thought.
 Demand for single-family homes is reviving, with firsttime homebuyers finally coming back into the market.
Apartment construction is close to peaking.
 The economy is better for consumers than producers.
Areas of the country exposed to Agriculture, Energy,
Mining and Manufacturing will likely see growth slow.
