News You Can Use
As the calendar flips to 2022, your ITR economists are recognizing a slightly different milestone. We expect many core segments of the economy to reach a business cycle peak during the first quarter of 2022. Put another way, our outlook for the majority of macroeconomic benchmarks anticipates that their rates-of-change will reach highs this quarter. Slowing – but still positive – growth will then take hold and persist into 2023. (ITR Economics)
