- The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow has lifted its real GDP growth tracker for Q4 by a tenth to 2.7% annualized vs 2.6% on Nov 19, after today’s unrevised Q3 estimate of 2.8%.
- That’s down from 2.8% with yesterday’s intra-update estimate after new home sales (interestingly considered sales were much weaker than expected with signs of weather disruption) after today’s data included GDP, personal income and durable goods releases.
- Q4 tracking continues to point to solid final domestic demand but at a 2.8pp contribution it would see a pull back from the particularly strong 3.5pp in Q3.
- Net exports are currently seen as the main offsetting factor (considering GDP growth is seen at a similar pace between Q3 and Q4) with a boost of 0.3pp in Q4 after dragging -0.6pps in Q3.
