Annual Production was 0.6% below the forecast range in 2019. Our analysis suggests Production may trend slightly below the forecast range in the near term. However, deviation is not expected to increase, and leading indicator evidence suggests the forecast represents the most likely outcome in the long run. Sustained rise in annual Production is not expected until late this year. The rising trend is expected to last from the second half of this year into late 2021.
