- US Bureau of Economic Analysis will release its advance estimate of economic growth. After Q1 GDP retraction, this data will inform the market whether or not the US is currently in a recession. Unquestionably, this is the most important event of the week, and will have a high impact on the market. Expected: 0.4% GDP Growth QoQ. Conversely, the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow indicator predicts that Q2 GDP is currently -1.6%. Any negative growth here all but confirms a recession… unless you ask Janet Yellen. Yellen, who said this weekend that she isn’t seeing “any sign of US recession” told Meet the Press that “Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth is not a recession.” Which is… an interesting take. We’ll see if the market agrees.
