Prefatory Note The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some imperfections may remain. Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. 1 In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial printing). 2 A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

Growth in real final sales slowed in the first quarter, but still posted a solid increase of 4.6 percent (annual rate). The slowdown in final sales reflected a substantial swing in the contribution from net exports, which had been boosted by transitory factors in the fourth quarter. The final estimate of the first-quarter increase in real GDP was 0.2 percentage point higher than that in the preliminary release. The change owes mainly to upward revisions in net exports and nonresidential structures. The final estimate was a bit weaker than that anticipated in the June Greenbook because of marginally smaller than anticipated contributions from state and local consumption and investment, personal consumption expenditures, and net exports. The GDP chain price index rose at an annual rate of 1.6 percent in the first quarter, compared with 0.9 percent over the four quarters of 1998. The first-quarter increase was 0.1 percentage point higher than that in the preliminary estimate, the result of small upward revisions to the inflation estimates in several expenditure categories. Real disposable personal income rose 3.5 percent in the first quarter, 3/4 percentage point lower than in the preliminary release, and the personal saving rate was revised down to -0.7 percent. The downward revisions owe to BEA's incorporation of data on tax collections this spring, which showed higher estimates of federal income tax payments than assumed earlier. Corporate profits (with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) increased $47.1 billion in 1999:Q1 following a decline of $5.3 billion in 1998:Q4 when profits were held down $13.5 billion by tobacco company payments related to litigation settlements. The revised estimate is $15 billion higher than estimated in the preliminary report and raised the share of profits (excluding Federal Reserve banks) in GNP to 9.6 percent. 6-25-99 Real Gross Domestic Product and Related Items (Percent change from previous period at compound annual rates; based on seasonally adjusted data, chain-type indexes) 1. 2.

However, respondents' assessments of their current finances were little changed this month, and their views concerning their future finances dipped a bit. Appraisals of buying conditions for large household appliances fell back in June after having climbed to a historical high in May. Responses to questions that are not included in the overall index were somewhat mixed in June. The index of expected unemployment change fell sharply indicating a substantial improvement in assessments of labor market conditions over the next twelve months. In addition, households' willingness to use savings to finance a major purchase soared in June to its highest level since September 1984. However, appraisals of buying conditions for cars and for homes moved lower in June, reflecting, in part, some dissatisfaction with current interest rates. The mean of expected inflation over the next twelve months edged down 0.1 percentage point to 3.1 percent, but the median declined 1/4 percentage point to 2.5 percent. The mean of expected inflation over the next five to ten years declined 0.2 percentage point to 3.3 percent, and the median fell 0.1 percentage point to 2.8 percent. Sales and Prices of Existing Homes Sales of existing homes declined 4 percent in May to an annual rate of 5.04 million units. With this decrease, existing home sales are down 7 percent from their record high in March. Existing home sales respond to changing market conditions with a lag because many of them are recorded at the time a sale is closed rather than when the sales contract is signed. The recent declines in existing home sales follow a falloff in new home sales between December and March. In April, however, new home sales increased 9-1/4 percent, and other, 1. The increase shown in the final tabulations was less than shown in the preliminary June report, which was released on June 11 and showed the index up more than 2 percentage points. o 0 0 3 - moW I mm mm 0hN WN In rmaw (i in mm 10 o rq 4 ri l 00 0 w « otcn r- - l 0- %0 OD mWo Ci o 0 i-I mim m n mc coC"D 4 itn o moW mo in nw o l rq v I I " -l V) o I 4ri-4 v-1-1-1 om Ii r- mr- T0I n 1-1r m -Nlvi wm mw mo mm i-l 1-1 mmMq r4i H r-I 0 * 0 e 0T-4 o, 0 1raH il *- - IM0 I- ,-4WCI o O in 0 to -lt-l14 N mn r rr-r- l mm i-l Ln iql q Oil in w r% i-l 1-1V-l mN mo r o a t-0 * i nmm 01t 0o n l m inmro o ,i-I 4I 0.M0 %D CO . * > 0 oo I in 1-1- 0 41 W * iO 0 r-I mN mO %m n 1-I m I0 o 014 oI * 0 Pa A- 0 '0 0 0ms&0 S0 0 43 o Mo- I Lno i- m mm oo V-I rq o T-I 1-1 1-1 l 1-o r ma r-l fn 0 Tc S-10 O I 4 Vl c mm 4 * r 1- 4 m4N c in w V. 1r4IT4r-1 > I 4 A 0 V 0- 0 0 M * 4 S-rl I B* S0 -oorl - 0-r Ic 43 §I Vl 'd O O- 0 0 Oop V *I a 'a of! $4 1 A 0 - a Ho o «o I a 4 14 0 0a 41 0 *ril Z d M$40 0 I-l 0 rl rC) 31MI rl MA 0 0 00 00 m 4 N-l 0 .4 1a aN 0000 O l *p 0 0 0O4 -1 0 0 0Il II 4 0 0 oa o 4) r 0 HO H a H m o I 1- H E Ka •OH - mo o o O ri 04 4 00 4 0) U - '00 90 0 i rO t I IU Om 4 - 041 0 K S 44 ai o 0 mc mw D I * 1.>4 aId m in w rm mo P4 M4 ciSwm mI-Io -rl II I * 0u I I OIh * * *-I 1-1 1-1 o-ro a S.

June 25, 1999 more timely indicators of housing demand--such as builders' ratings of new home sales and applications for home mortgages--rose from April through June. The year-over-year increase in the median price of existing homes was 3.3 percent in May, the lowest such increase recorded over the past twelve months. The average price was up 5.3 percent from a year earlier, which is near the midpoint of the distribution of such increases over the past twelve months. These price series do not adjust for compositional changes in the structural characteristics and amenities of homes sold. The most recent observation for the repeat-sales price index for existing homes--which holds constant some of the compositional shifts that can affect the median and average prices--shows a 4.9 percent increase in the first quarter from a year earlier. 2 Shipments and Orders of Durable Goods New orders for durable goods rose 1.4 percent in May. A big increase in the volatile series for aircraft orders accounted for all of the gain: Excluding aircraft, orders edged off 0.2 percent last month. The staff's constructed series on real adjusted durable goods orders-which strips out nondefense aircraft, defense capital goods, and industries for which reported orders actually equal shipments--ticked down 0.1 percent in May, but remained 2.5 percent above its first-quarter average. Orders for nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft fell 1 percent in May. The decline was due to a large drop in orders for engines and turbines, which have been running at very high levels. Excluding engines and turbines and aircraft, orders for nondefense capital goods rose 2.4 percent last month to level 2.9 percent above the first-quarter average. Most notably, sizable increases were posted in May for construction machinery and metalworking machinery, two industries whose shipments were depressed by weak foreign demand over the past year. Orders for communications equipment remained on a steep uptrend, rising 1 percent in May. 2. This index is calculated by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac using price data obtained when houses are sold repeatedly or refinanced.
