There is an unexpected holiday cheer in the air as we finish 2016. The surprising US presidential election result has dramatically changed the economic outlook for 2017 and beyond.
There is encouragement for business managers, investors, and consumers in the prospective mix of lower taxes, regulatory relief, higher interest rates, and new infrastructure spending.
While the political process should be expected to grind forward slowly and will inevitably yield more modest legislative accomplishments than many hope for, the resolve of the new administration and the republican congress should not be underestimated. We expect a more optimistic economic psychology over the next few months with new business investment and higher consumer spending.
Best wishes for a prosperous and healthy new year!
