It's The Economy Stupid: GDP

GDP Quarter on Quarter:   1.0%, economists expected 1.1% and the prior period number was 1.3%

GDP Price Index:   2.4%, economists expected 2.3%, prior number was 0.1%

Personal Consumption:   0.4%, economists expected 2.3%, and the prior number was 2.3%   

Core PCE Quarter on Quarter:    2.2%, economists expected 2.1%, and the prior number was 2.1%

 

So, the economy is growing S L O W L Y.  What can you say?  It’s weak, but ain’t dead yet.
