Economy Outlook Mixed as June Indicators Dip
The Carter administration remains optimistic about the economy despite a June drop in the Commerce Department's leading indicators index. Treasury Secretary Blumenthal cautions against month to month judgments while predicting about 5 percent growth in the second half of 1977. Deputy White House spokesman Granum says the dollar’s decline reflects stronger currencies, not a slipping economy. Agricultural prices fell 2 percent for the month to July 15 and were down 7 percent for the year. Fed Chair Burns notes slowing overall growth but still enough to reduce unemployment from 7.1 percent in June.
