RGE's Q1 2010 United States Outlook

After a sharp contraction (of around 2.4%) in 2009, subpar GDP growth (below potential) will be the story for 2010. RGE estimates that U.S. real GDP will grow 2.7% in 2010, against a potential growth rate of around 3%. U.S. real GDP growth displayed a less-than-flattering 2.2% rate in Q3 2009, with 90% of this growth attributable to monetary easing and unprecedented government intervention (fiscal stimulus). Q4 2009 saw a stronger than expected inventory liquidation that pushed growth all the way to 5.7% (advanced estimate) against a consensus expectation of 4.5%. RGE expects growth momentum to continue into 2010. RGE expects “a year of two halves,” —with the first six months stronger (average quarterly annualized growth of 2.6%) than the second six (average quarterly annualized growth of 1.5%)—as the effects of stimulus and inventory restocking begin to show signs of fading out during H2 2010. Stronger growth in H1 2010 could bring further steepening of the yield curve, which is already historically steep. Weaker growth in the second half of the year will contribute to some flattening of the curve.
