HIS Capital Group November 2016 Volume 8-1 2017 OUTLOOK 7 ECONOMIC TOPICS FOR 2017’S HOUSING & GLOBAL ECONOMY No one remembers more than 7 bullet points, so, with the American presidential election over, and markets in a relatively sanguine state, the outlook to 2017 cruxes on some specific business and policy questions. The decision points include how the Fed will play the election result and read the economy, what type of policies the incoming Trump Administration will propose, how CEO’s will allocate capital towards business investment, and how American consumers will respond to it all. These, and billions of other micro-decisions made by individuals every day in the coming year, will shape the nature of the American housing market in the coming 12 months.
