We revise up our 2021 growth forecasts as we expect the positive outlook for public health and fiscal policy to outweigh the impact of current COVID-19 cases.
Key takeaways
We raise our 2021 real GDP growth and inflation forecasts to 5.0% and 2.4%, respectively, from 4.5% and 2.2%, due to accelerating recovery and expansionary policies.
A steepening Treasury yield curve and falling sub-IG bond yields suggest rising inflation expectations and normalizing financial conditions.
Upside and downside risks to GDP growth are balanced.
