Economic Indicators
I have begun compiling some current market data to cover the overall economy, capital markets and real estate markets. I will be expanding this feature so check back. The following historical and forecast charts were generated by the WSJ.com and are based on their survey of 60 economists. For further charts as of September 2016. The charts are interactive and can be changed by clicking the data and time frame. Also, if you go to the WSJ Survey of Economists you can access additional graphs and download the underlying data.
