US Data: Highlights of MNI Survey of Economic Forecasts
WASHINGTON (MNI) - The following are highlights of forecasts for
upcoming U.S. economic indicators provided by participants in the MNI
weekly survey. The comment section presents the key elements behind the
median forecasts.
Weekly Jobless Claims for January 12 week
Thursday, January 17 at 8:30 a.m. ET Actual:
Median Range Jan12 Jan05 Dec29
Weekly Claims 218k 215k to 225k -- 216k 233k
Comments: The level of initial jobless claims is expected to
partially rebound to a reading of 218,000 in the January 12 employment
survey week after a reversal of 17,000 to 216,000 level in the previous
week, a continuation of the volatility normally seen at the start of the
year. The impact of the government shutdown may be seen in coming weeks
as a portion of the furloughed government workers file for benefits. The
four-week moving average would rise slightly in the coming week as the
217,000 level in the December 15 employment survey week rolls out of the
calculation, assuming the MNI forecast is correct and there are no
revisions.
Philadelphia Federal Reserve Index for January (diffusion index)
Thursday, January 17 at 8:30 a.m. ET Actual:
Median Range Jan19 Dec18 Nov18
Phila Fed 9.0 5.0 to 10.0 -- 9.1 11.9
Comments: The Philadelphia Fed index is expected to fall very
slightly to a reading of 9.0 from a revised 9.1 reading in December.
Industrial Production for December (percent change)
Friday, January 18 at 9:15 a.m. ET Actual:
Median Range Dec18 Nov18 Oct18
Ind Prod +0.1% -0.5% to +0.4% -- +0.6% -0.2%
Cap Util 78.4% 78.3% to 78.7% -- 78.5% 78.1%
Comments: Industrial production is expected to rise by 0.1% in
December after a 0.6% rise in November. Factory payrolls rose by 32,000
in December, while auto production jobs rose by 2,000 and the factory
workweek lengthened by 0.1 hours to 40.9 hours. However, the ISM
production index fell to 54.3 in the current month from 60.6 in the
previous month. Utilities production is expected to slip in the month
after a 3.3% surge in November, while mining production is forecast to
decline after a 1.7% gain, with low energy prices a key factor. Capacity
utilization is forecast to decline to 78.4% from 78.5% in November.
University of Michigan Survey for January (preliminary)
Friday, January 18 at 10:00 a.m. ET Actual:
Median Range Jan19p Dec18 Nov18

Comments: The Michigan Sentiment index is expected to hold fall to
97.5 in early-January after rising to 98.3 in December. Financial market
volatility and the Federal Government shutdown provide the wild cards in
this month's data.
