Even if output growth decelerates in the months ahead, it should remain well above the economy's long-run potential.
This supercharged recovery has been characterized by strong economic and productivity growth.

It has been, by any reasonable measure, an eventful first quarter.
Investors will need to remain vigilant in case policy makers miss the vital step of getting the economy to simmer down.
