US GDP Growth For Q1 Revised Higher To 1.4% As Expected
The US Bureau of Economic Analysis announced on Thursday that it revised the annualized real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for the first quarter to 1.4% from 1.3% in the previous estimate. This revision came in line with the market expectation.
"The increase in real GDP primarily reflected increases in consumer spending, residential fixed investment, nonresidential fixed investment, and state and local government spending that were partly offset by a decrease in private inventory investment. Imports increased," the BEA explained in its press release.
Market reaction to US GDP data
The US Dollar struggles to find demand despite the positive revision to the Q1 GDP data. At the time of press, the USD Index was down 0.2% on the day at 105.85.
