The @WSJ got 71 economists together. (Link in replies). Their collective forecast, which sounds like the opening of Reagan’s “Morning in America” which followed a rough 1981-1982: “One reason for the higher bond yield forecast is oil. Economists forecast that the U.S. oil-price benchmark will end 2027 at about $75 a barrel, down from $101 at the close on Friday but up from $67 before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran at the end of February. In turn, their forecasts for inflation as measured by the consumer-price index fall to 2.3% by the end of 2027. The panelists provided forecasts before the release of the September CPI report. Meanwhile, economists expect the economy to add 56,000 jobs a month on average over the next year. The panel sharply revised its forecast for growth in inflation-adjusted annualized gross domestic product to 3.1% for the third quarter, up from 2% in the July survey. Of 64 economists who provided forecasts in both surveys, 60 saw growth for the quarter moving higher.”
