U.S. Economy Probably Shrank at Slower Pace in Second Quarter By Shobhana Chandra July 31 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. economy probably shrank at a slower pace in the second quarter, a sign the worst recession in half a century is winding down, economists said before a report today. Gross domestic product contracted at a 1.5 percent annual rate from April to June after dropping 5.5 percent the prior quarter, according to the median forecast of 78 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The report will also include benchmark revisions for prior quarters. Profits at companies from Caterpillar Inc. to Dow Chemical Co. show the slump is easing as government efforts to revive lending and President Barack Obama’s stimulus take hold. Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the economy, may take time to recover as job losses mount, eroding the growth analysts anticipate will start this quarter. “We’ve definitely turned the corner but it’s going to be a slow, agonizing recovery,” said John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in Charlotte, North Carolina. “We’re just not going to get the job growth that politicians promised and people expect. The consumer doesn’t want to spend a lot.” The Commerce Department’s report on GDP, the sum of all goods and services produced, is due at 8:30 a.m. in Washington. Survey estimates ranged from a 0.7 percent gain to a decline of 2.9 percent. A drop would be the fourth in a row, the longest losing streak since quarterly records began in 1947. The contraction so far has been the deepest since 1957-58. Less Spending The report may show consumer spending dropped at a 0.5 percent pace, the third decline in the last four quarters, the survey showed. The economy has lost 6.5 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007, and economists surveyed by Bloomberg this month forecast the jobless rate will exceed 10 percent by early 2010. “The United States economy has found bottom but will be slow in recovering as unemployment continues to be a drag on consumer spending,” Andrew Liveris, chief executive officer of Midland, Michigan-based Dow, said in a statement yesterday. Second-quarter profit at Dow and at Peoria, Illinois-based Caterpillar, topped analysts’ estimates. Caterpillar, the world’s largest maker of construction equipment, said last week that stimulus programs in countries such as China were helping stabilize sales. Slumps Easing Recent reports showed the housing slump, which helped trigger the financial crisis last year, and the decline in manufacturing have eased. Housing starts rose in June as construction of single-family dwellings jumped by the most since 2004, Commerce reported earlier this month. Industrial production shrank in June at the slowest pace in eight months, according to figures from the Federal Reserve. Most of the Fed’s 12 regional banks reported a slower pace of economic decline in June and July, the central bank’s regional survey of activity showed this week. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke told Congress last week that there were “tentative signs of stabilization.” Companies probably cut stockpiles further last quarter, setting the stage for recovery in production. “With inventory levels in an ultra-lean state, businesses should start adding inventories in the second half of the year as the economy begins to show signs of life,” said Ellen Zentner, senior economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. Automakers General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC, both out of bankruptcy, are among firms set to ramp up production as government efforts lift demand. The “cash-for-clunkers” trade-in program begun this month has spurred 16,351 new-vehicle sales so far, the Transportation Department said this week. The plan has given out $68.9 million in subsidies out of the $1 billion set aside. Economists project the economy will grow at an average 1.5 percent pace from July to December, according to a Bloomberg survey taken in early July. David Weidman, chief executive officer of Dallas-based chemical maker Celanese Corp., is among those seeing an improvement. “We exited the quarter with increasing optimism,” as rising demand offered “clear signs of economic recovery,” Weidman said in an interview this week. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average are up 12 percent since July 10 on better-than- anticipated earnings at companies from Motorola Inc. to 3M Co. The country “may be seeing the beginning of the end of the recession,” Obama said this week. Even so, “we know the tough times aren’t over.”

Economy contracts less than expected The nation's gross domestic product declined 1% in the second quarter, less than expected and better than the first quarter's drop. EMAIL | PRINT | SHARE | RSS TWITTER Yahoo! Buzz DIGG FACEBOOK DEL.ICIO.US REDDIT STUMBLE UPON MYSPACE MIXX IT Subscribe to Economy feed://rss.cnn.com/rss/money_news_economy.rss Paste this link into your favorite RSS desktop reader See all CNNMoney.com RSS FEEDS (close) By David Goldman, CNNMoney.com staff writer Last Updated: July 31, 2009: 8:48 AM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The pace of economic decline slowed substantially in the second quarter, as the U.S. economy shrank at an annual rate of 1% -- far less than it did in the first quarter, according to a government report released Friday. The economy has been mired in recession since December 2007, worsening in recent quarters. The fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009 measured the worst two quarterly declines in 26 years, when the nation's gross domestic product fell a revised 5.4% and 6.4% respectively. GDP, the broadest measure of economic activity, has contracted for four straight quarters -- the first time that has happened since the Commerce Department began tracking that measure in 1947. But the most recent quarterly decline is the smallest since the third quarter of 2008, giving hope to some economists that the recession is nearing an end. Economists surveyed on Briefing.com expected the second-quarter reading to show the economy contracted at an annual rate of 1.5%. First Published: July 31, 2009: 8:41 AM ET

Economists are expecting the report to show a 1.5% decline in the period. The second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) report is due out at 8:30 a.m.

.S. GDP is due out at 8.30 a.m. A Reuters poll of economists showed a median forecast of a 1.5 percent contraction in the U.S. economy in the second-quarter, on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis, compared with a 5.5 percent contraction recorded for the first quarter.

Chevron is reporting second-quarter numbers with analysts expecting the company to report earnings per share at $1 compared to $2.90 previously.

When US president Obama speaks, better listen.

In March'09 when he said 'I think it is time to buy stock' when stock prices were being at its lowerst, not long after that, the prices of stocks surged.

The below article has posed a question for me as in : Is Obama speaking ahead of the movement of the coming stock market? What lies ahead of this message that 2nd Qtr is like to contract?

Barack Obama

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama said on Thursday that despite signs of a US economic recovery, figures will likely show gross domestic product contracting in the second quarter of 2009.

"I suspect that GDP numbers will still show that the economy contracted in the second quarter, that job loss is still a huge problem," Obama said.

His comments come ahead of the publication on Friday of results offering a snapshot of how the world's largest economy fared between April and June.

Many hope those figures will point to the end of an 18-month crippling recession, after desperately gloomy figures in the previous two quarters.

Figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed the economy shrank 5.5 percent in the first quarter, after a 6.3 percent slide in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Obama, echoing the expectations of forecasters who see growth resuming in the second half of 2009, sounded an optimistic tone about the economy.

"We have seen a significant slowing down of the contraction over the last several months," Obama said, pointing to a slowing of job and output losses, and an easing of credit markets.

"All of that is a sign that we have stepped away from the precipice."

"We were in a position where we could have gone into a great depression. I think those fears have abated." - AFP/de
