Daily News US real GDP has been flat this year, Boockvar says
The third quarter US gross domestic product number came in better than expected, showing signs of accelerating growth in an economy still plagued by high inflation.
Looking over the entire year, however, this number only offsets sluggishness in earlier quarters, according to Peter Boockvar of Bleakley Financial Group.
“Bottom line, on a REAL basis, the US economy has flat lined this year,” Boockvar said in a Thursday note. He expects inflation to continue to weigh on growth and lead to another negative reading.
“Entering the year chained GDP was $20.006 Trillion and we ended Q3 a hair above at $20.022 Trillion. Inflation though has the economy bigger nominally speaking as the nominal GDP figure ended Q3 at $25.66 Trillion vs $24.35 Trillion at the end of 2021,” Boockvar wrote.
“After this positive print for Q3, expect another negative GDP print in Q4,” he said.

Daily News GDP report out at 8:30 a.m. expected to show one-time acceleration in growth
Investors will get a look at how well the economy performed during the third quarter when data on gross domestic product comes out at 8:30 a.m.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis report could paint a deceptively strong picture on growth, with economists surveyed by Dow Jones expecting the reading to show an annualized gain of 2.3%. Cyclical factors that likely won’t repeat in future quarters are projected to fuel that gain, which would be the strongest of 2022 by a wide margin.
“We expect that such a number will overstate the strength of the U.S. economy and will be driven in large part by international trade dynamics. Core aspects of the economy such as consumer spending and housing have weakened materially over the course of 2022,” Morningstar said in a client note.
The report also will show how high inflation rose during the quarter, with the chain-weighted price index expected to rise 5.3%. Data on durable goods spending also is due out at 8:30.

“Our backlog remains near record levels, closing the third quarter at $29.1 billion, up 9% year over year, and providing us with confidence in our demand expectations against an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic backdrop,” he added.

Credit Suisse on Thursday posted a quarterly loss that was significantly worse than analyst estimates, as it announced a massive strategic overhaul.
The embattled lender posted a third-quarter net loss of 4.034 billion Swiss francs ($4.09 billion), but noted that the scale of the loss reflected a 3.655 billion Swiss franc impairment relating to the “reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review.”
In its widely anticipated strategic shift, Credit Suisse vowed to “radically restructure” its investment bank to significantly cut its exposure to risk-weighted assets, which are used to determine a bank’s capital requirements. It also aims to cut its cost base by 15%, or 2.5 billion Swiss francs, by 2025.
