Konjunktur
Heute der Gipfel, morgen der Abstieg
Es ist Frühling, und da lassen es selbst Ökonomen gerne sprießen. Bei ihnen blühen zur Zeit die Konjunkturprognosen. Am vergangenen Mittwoch legte der Internationale Währungsfonds (IWF) seinen halbjährlichen Bericht zur Lage der Weltwirtschaft vor. Am kommenden Donnerstag folgt das Frühjahrsgutachten der sechs führenden deutschen Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitute.
I can't come up with a catchy headline for this press release.
Many thanks in advance for creative input!

Today the mountain top, tomorrow the descent
Not very creative or catchy, I'm afraid, but it's a start :-)

Not all that snappy - what really sprang to mind was "Here today, gone tomorrow," but that's a bit too drastic

Up today, down tomorrow
Not a 100% match, but I think it expresses the idea and is reasonably short and snappy.
