Fed’s Williams expects above trend U.S. growth rest of the year
San Francisco Fed President John Williams said on Thursday he expects above-trend economic growth in the United States for the rest of the year after a weak first quarter. Williams told reporters in Singapore that the weak economic growth in the first quarter was an “anomaly” affected by factors such as the weather.

Sales chief John Leahy said anticipated demand already exceeded the planemaker’s existing production goal of 50 planes a month and that Airbus was studying further increases. Airbus currently produces 42 of the medium-haul planes a month and has already set an output goal of 50 a month by the first quarter of 2017.
