More on the ITR Forecast

In the last release, I gave you my own summary for the Economic Summit held in September, here's the Vistage version:

 Based on the movement of leading economic indicators:

• The recovery will begin around October 2009, and will be so mild that most Main Street businesses won’t trust that it’s a true recover until we are three to six months into it.
• 2010 should show a tepid, mild recovery, while the pace picks up in 2011-12.
• U.S. housing markets will reach a low in late 2009 when prices flatten. Home values may begin to rise again in 2011.
• Disinflation (a decrease in the rate of inflation) or deflation is likely to continue into 2010, while inflation returns in 2011-2012.
• Unemployment will peak in early 2010 above 9 percent nationally. Job growth should begin around September 2010.
• Credit conditions will improve somewhat in 2010, when we should see renewed lending at low interest rates.

Commodity prices will go up in late 2010 and into 2011 when industrial production will have recovered to half its 2007 levels.
