Atlanta Fed GDP Tracker Doesn’t Budge From 5.6%

US DATA
  • The Atlanta Fed GDPNow tracker for Q3 was unrevised at 5.6% in today’s latest estimate, with near zero impact from today’s wholesale trade report (changes in inventories are still seen providing a strong 1.4pps to quarterly growth).
  • The second unrevised estimate at 5.6% sees some stability having pulled back from earlier vintages of 5.9%, but it’s clearly still incredibly strong after 2.1% in Q2.
  • It’s particularly strong when compared to other regional Fed trackers as well, with today’s relaunching of the NY Fed’s take at 2.25% for Q3 and the St Louis Fed’s economic news index at just -0.1% as of last week.
