Free AccessMNI DATA ANALYSIS: US Q3 GDP Revised Down To +3.4% From +3.5%>
--Durable Goods New Orders +0.8% vs Flat Expected
By Kevin Kastner, Harrison Clarke, and Shikha Dave
WASHINGTON (MNI) - Third quarter GDP growth was revised down to a
3.4% gain from the 3.5% gain in the previous estimate, data released
Friday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis showed.
At the same time, the price picture was revised only modestly from
the previous estimate. The core PCE price index was revised up to 1.6%
from 1.5%, but the year/year rate is still at 2.0%, up from 1.9% in
the previous quarter.
The slight downward revision to GDP was driven by downward
revisions to residential investment and PCE, as well as a slightly wider
net export gap, but was partially offset by an upward revision in
private inventory investment.
--PCE GROWTH REVISED DOWN SLIGHTLY
PCE growth was revised down to a 3.5% pace from 3.6% in the
previous estimate, while the net export gap now stands at $949.7
billion, wider than $945.8 billion gap in the previous estimate.
Nonresidential fixed investment was unrevised from the 2.5% gain in
the previous estimate, but inventory investment was revised up to a
$89.8 billion gain for the quarter from an $86.6 billion rise in the
previous estimate.
As a result of the mix of revisions, real final sales of domestic
product were revised down to a 1.0% gain from the 1.2% increase in the
previous estimate. Real final sales to domestic purchasers was revised
down to 2.9% from the previous 3.1% rise.
Real Gross Domestic Income was revised up to 4.3% from 4.0% in
the previous estimate and was up from a 0.9% gain in the second
quarter. The average of GDP and GDI now stands at a 3.8% gain for the
third quarter, unrevised from the previous estimate and 2.5% in the
second quarter.
--DURABLE GOODS ORDERS UP
Also released Friday, durable goods new orders rose 0.8% in
November, compared with the flat reading expected on a rise in
transportation orders. Outside of transportation, new orders were down
0.3%, well below the 0.4% gain expected.
Transportation orders rose 2.9%, with nondefense aircraft orders
up 6.7% and defense aircraft orders up 31.5%. Motor vehicle orders
were down 0.2%, but the unpublished transportation components rose by
3.7% in the month.
Durable goods inventories were up 0.3%, while shipments rose 0.7%
and unfilled orders fell 0.1%. Nondefense capital goods shipments rose
2.4% and were down 0.1% excluding aircraft.
