Q4 2017 US GDP advance reading 26 January 2018
- Q3 GDP 3.2%.
- Sales advance 3.2% vs 3.2% exp. Prior 2.4%
- Consumer spending 3.8% vs 2.2% prior
- PCE 2.8% vs 1.8% exp. Prior 1.5%
- Core PCE 1.9% vs 1.6% exp. Prior 1.3%
The soft headline will catch the attention but there’s a very good jump in spending and PCE is up massively. On the whole, it’s not that bad a report.
Between this and the Durable’s there’s no real reason to see the dollar fall but whether it wants to rally is another question.
