"... Given that a recently reported GDP of 0.5% isn’t in the area code of “as expected”, I don’t think Williams has a lot of credibility as a Wall St. forecaster. But Lockhart’s Atlanta Fed actually has a “GDP Now” tracking model (that has recently had an intra-quarter standard error of 200-250 basis points!) that is NOT mixed. It’s flat out bad. So he’s “favoring” non-GDP data."
