Q2 2018 US GDP final data 27 September 2018

  • Prior 4.2%
  • Q1 2.2%
  • Consumer spending 3.8% vs 3.8% prior
  • PCE 2.0% vs 1.9% exp. Prior 1.95
  • Core PCE 2.1% vs 2.0% exp. Prior 2.0%
  • Deflator 3.3% vs 3.05 exp. Prior 3.2%
  • Corp profits 2.1% vs 2.4% prior

Pretty much inline with expectations and the prior, although a touch higher on the price components. There might be some USD buying on mild relief that GDP held up and didn’t drop but Durable’s is getting the main headlines.
