As the Daily Business News has noted previously, the broader economic and political developments routinely impact manufactured housing, and publicly traded stocks.  Reports from publicly traded companies often point to broader U.S. economic issues, such as job creation, consumer confidence, or rising wages as factors supporting more sales. So tonight’s focus is on the latest analysis by Moody Analytics on economic projections for the U.S. in Q2.

But specifically regarding the CNBC report, are the following bullets, graphics and video.

Per CNBC:

• Trump’s forecast of 4% GDP growth close to coming true as Americans spend tax-bill proceeds
• Surging consumer spending is driving GDP well above prior estimates, and it is now tracking near 4 percent for the second quarter.
• That’s almost double the pace of the first quarter.
• Economists say the consumer is seeing the impact of the tax cuts and is spending, as a result of more disposable income.
