Fiscal 1988 deficit grows amid market uncertainty
A federal deficit forecast for 1988 fuels investor doubt about spending control and oil price direction. The Treasury reported a $25.77 billion deficit for last month and $56.51 billion for the first two months, while 1987 ended with $148.01 billion. Some forecasters see 1988 deficits near $150 billion to $175 billion. The weak fiscal outlook helps explain stock volatility and higher long-term yields as inflation risk weighs on bonds and the dollar trends lower.
