Atlanta Fed GDPNow For Q2 Trimmed Despite Retail Sales Control Beat

US DATA
  • Still in the early stages, the Atlanta Fed’s Q2 GDP tracker was revised down to 2.6% from 2.7% last updated on May 8.
  • A beat for today’s retail sales control group wasn’t enough to stop personal consumption expenditure growth estimates being revised down from 2.3% to 1.8%. Govt spending was also revised down from 2.1% to 1.6%, partly offset by private domestic investment pushed higher from 4.2% to 4.6%.
  • It currently tracks a reasonable bounce from the 1.1% registered in the first Q1 estimate, prior to any potential revisions with the second estimate on May 25. The GDPNow will be revised tomorrow after housing starts/building permits.
