Fed Seeks Fine Balancing Act as Better Backdrop Produces End to US Corporate Profits Recession

Any financial market turbulence due to the failure to pass important parts of the Trump Administration’s election manifesto could affect Fed policy conduct. Changes in financial conditions and their impact on the real economy are being monitored by the FOMC. Weaker commodity prices and a significant inventory correction produced a US corporate profits recession between 2014 H2 and 2016 H1. The subsequent recovery in commodity prices and manufacturing sales implies that S&P500 revenue growth should be more robust moving forward and will better underpin EPS expansion.
