Key Quotes
“The Atlanta Fed GDP tracker says 2.4% growth, while the NY Fed's tracker puts it at 2.2%. Consumption rose 4.3% in Q2. Last week's data confirm a slowing to around 2.7%, according to the Atlanta Fed, which matches the past four quarter average. Despite the talk of insufficient aggregate demand, US consumption, which is a little more than 2/3 of the economy, is not the problem. Inventories will be less of a drag, and net exports may contribute positively to GDP.”
