New Year Economic Outlook Mixed To Open 1971
The year end 1970 summary shows a cautious view of 1971 with forecasts of growth but rising unemployment and inflation. Leading indicators rose in November, yet machine tool orders hit a 12 year low and U.S. foreign trade posted its worst showing in 22 months. Government and industry outlooks varied from optimism to concern across growth, inflation, and capex. Leading economists and agencies projected modest gains, with unemployment expected to average around 5 to 6 percent and inflation near 4.2 to 4.3 percent. The Dodge construction index rose, while auto and aircraft shipments dragged trade. The Penn Central loan bill and Nixon market-insurance move dominated headlines alongside Zanuck’s resignation at Fox.
