Fundamentals improving despite slow early year economy
Chase Econometrics president Chimerine says fundamentals such as oil prices interest rates and the dollar are improving signaling a slower but steady pickup in the second half with modest growth. NAM president Jasinowski also expects a rebound after mid year with about 4 percent growth in the second half.
