With only modest fiscal drag resulting from the “cliff” deal reached in Congress, the U.S. economy will likely plod along in 2013 slowly and unevenly, “stuck in second gear, unable to accelerate, but thankfully not plunging off a cliff,” David Levy, chairman of the Jerome Levy Forecasting Center LLC, wrote in the January Levy Forecast.
“Corporate earnings will in all likelihood continue to disappoint investors in 2013,” Levy added.
