Economists struggle to forecast U.S. recovery with huge misses
Bloomberg reports that estimates for two of the most widely followed economic reports this month -- the consumer price index and the jobs report -- have missed the actual figures by a long shot.
The unprecedented nature of the pandemic has made forecasting difficult for economists. The recent employment surprise was the biggest downside miss, while the price index was the biggest upside miss in records dating back to 1996. It’s not the first time during Covid-19 this has happened: Economists also struggled to accurately forecast a sudden improvement in employment data last year, for example.
Economists say their models aren’t designed to incorporate massive shifts like those stemming from businesses rapidly reopening or supply chain constraints. High-frequency data and anecdotal evidence provide additional insight but it’s not an exact science.
“Economic models are awful at predicting turning points,” said Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist at Barclays Plc. “They’re great at picking the trend, and the pandemic is a series of turning points.”
There are also not a lot of periods in history to compare to the pandemic. The business cycle that most closely resembles the current moment is World War II when there were massive shortages in some goods and people were restrained from buying certain items, Gapen said.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
