                                           Bloomberg Monthly Economic Survey
 
Ac
cording to the latest Bloomberg News survey of 71 economists conducted from August 2 through August 7th, the U.S. economy will expand at 2.3% in 2019, 1.8% in 2020 and 1.9% in 2021.
 
Bullet Points of Note:
 
         * The chance of a recession happening over the next 12 months is 35%
 
         * Q3 of 2019 GDP is forecast at 1.8% versus the prior survey at 1.9%
 
         * Q4 2019 GDP is forecast at 1.9% versus the prior survey at 1.8%
 
          * 2019 CPI forecast is unchanged versus the prior survey

          * 2020 CPI is forecast at 2.0% versus the prior survey at 2.1%
 
          * The upper bound of the FED funds rate will be at 2.00% at the December 11th meeting versus
             the current rate at 2.25%

 
In contrast to this survey, the FED funds futures market sees even steeper cuts in the overnight rate, with an upper bound in the 1.50% to 1.75% range.
