Q1 GDP REVISED AGAIN
Ugh.
On Friday, I posted that the Atlanta Fed was projecting Q1 GDP to drop into negative territory.
Specifically, down to -1.5% growth from 2.3% in Q4 of 2024.
Well, they just posted an update today. They are now projecting contraction to -2.8% in Q1.
Obviously, this isn't a final number and can certainly change. We're only 2/3 of the way through Q1, so don't read too much into this at this point.
But, this would be one of the biggest drops in GDP quarter over quarter ever.
NOTE: GDP is comprised of multiple economic data points. Consumer spending, private investment, imports and exports. Imports and exports are, for the most part, going to even out over longer periods of time, so they are less influential in any specific GDP reading.
But here's what the current report has to say about consumer spending and private investment:
"...real personal consumption expenditures growth and real private fixed investment growth fell from 1.3 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively, to 0.0 percent and 0.1 percent."
So it's not just variations in imports and exports that is leading this drop.
