U.S. Economy Probably Contracted as Consumer Spending Dropped 

By Shobhana Chandra


 

Oct. 30 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. economy probably shrank in the third quarter by 
the most since the 2001 recession just as Americans were deciding how to cast 
their ballots in the Nov. 4 elections. 
Gross domestic product contracted at a 0.5 percent annual rate from July to 
September, according to the median forecast of 75 economists surveyed by 
Bloomberg News. The figure, the last major piece of economic data before the 
presidential election, compares with growth of 2.8 percent in the previous 
three months. 

The economic slump coincided with Democratic presidential nominee Barack 
Obama's lead in public-opinion polls. A Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times survey 
taken Aug. 15-18 showed Republican nominee John McCain with 42 percent support 
to Obama's 41 percent; five weeks later, as the credit crunch deepened, the 
poll showed Obama leading by 49 percent to 45 percent. 

``There are multiple waves converging behind Obama,'' said James Lucier, a 
senior political analyst at Capital Alpha Partners. 

The Commerce Department's GDP report is due at 8:30 a.m. in Washington; 
Bloomberg survey estimates range from a 1.2 percent rate of expansion to a 
contraction of 1.9 percent. The Federal Reserve yesterday warned of further 
``downside risks' even after cutting interest rates twice this month and 
pumping billions of dollars into markets. 

The Commerce Department's report is due at 8:30 a.m. in Washington. Bloomberg 
survey estimates ranged from a 1.2 percent rate of expansion to a contraction 
of 1.9 percent. 
Half-Century Low 
The Fed yesterday cut the benchmark interest rate by a half percentage point to 
1 percent, matching a half-century low. 
``The intensification of financial-market turmoil is likely to exert additional 
restraint on spending, partly by further reducing the ability of households and 
businesses to obtain credit,'' the Fed's statement said. ``The pace of economic 
activity appears to have slowed markedly.'' 

The National Bureau of Economic Research, the Cambridge, Massachusetts- based 
official arbiter of U.S. economic cycles, has yet to call a recession. 
The group bases its assessment on indicators including GDP, employment, sales, 
incomes and industrial production, and usually takes six to 18 months to make a 
determination. According to the NBER, the last recession lasted from March to 
November 2001. 

CEOs See Recession 
Chief executive officers from Ford Motor Co., Starwood Hotels & Resorts 
Worldwide Inc. and Caterpillar Inc. are among those in the past two months that 
have said the U.S. is in a recession. 
``You might have a two- or three-quarter negative growth and then a slow 
pullout,'' General Electric Co.'s Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Immelt said 
in an Oct. 24 Webcast. Government efforts to improve liquidity will ``take a 
while'' to work. GE's businesses, spanning jet engines, medical equipment and 
consumer finance, make it an economic bellwether. 

Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy, fell 
at a 2.4 percent pace last quarter, the survey median shows. That would be the 
first drop since 1991 and the biggest since 1990. 

``It was very much a quarter of transition from growth to a recession,'' said 
Peter Kretzmer, a senior economist at Bank of America Corp. in New York. ``The 
fourth quarter will be weaker. The credit crisis is at the center of 
everything.'' 

Appliances, Cookware 
Whirlpool Corp., the world's largest appliance maker, this week said it'll cut 
5,000 jobs, and forecast lower annual profit as the credit crunch clipped 
sales. Williams-Sonoma Inc., the biggest U.S. gourmet-cookware chain, yesterday 
forecast a third- quarter loss because sales slowed ``significantly'' during 
the past six weeks. 

Industry figures showed cars and light trucks sold at a 12.5 million annual 
pace in September, the fewest since 1993. October sales may drop to an 11 
million pace, according to a Deutsche Bank AG estimate. 

``These are truly unimaginable times for our industry,'' Robert Nardelli, chief 
executive officer of Chrysler LLC, said in a statement last week. The 
third-largest U.S. automaker will cut 25 percent of salaried workers and reduce 
production. 

Home construction, which has subtracted from economic growth since the first 
three months of 2006, probably dropped again last quarter, economists said. 

Trade, which made its biggest contribution to GDP in three decades in the 
second quarter, probably provided less support in the last three months, and 
may continue to moderate as overseas demand for U.S. goods cools. The U.K. 
economy contracted in the third quarter by the most since 1990, while Japan's 
government acknowledged this month that the country has probably entered its 
first recession in six years.
