Economy outlook brightens as growth forecasts edge up
Economists revise growth expectations for the year upward despite risks from higher long term rates. A 34 member panel of the National Association for Business Economics now projects about 3 percent growth, while monetary and tax trends support near term spending. Factory orders rose 1.7 percent in January after a 2.3 percent gain in December, with aircraft orders surging and electronics up, though transportation and some sectors showed declines. Unemployment claims fell to 286,000, with the four week average at 290,750, the lowest since February 1989, signaling continued labor market strength.
