Growth optimism shaded by energy costs and inflation risk
Economists say GDP growth may run 3.5 to 4.5 percent in Q2 with a 4.7 percent full-year 2004 target, though higher energy prices could trim spending. Labor data show dropped unemployment claims and payroll gains, while core inflation rose 1.7 percent in Q1. Consumer spending and business investment remained strong, supported by inventory buildup and higher profits. Military outlays rose sharply, though off prior estimates.
