This is why the Atlanta FEDs GDPNOW is hilarious-ALWAYS wrong and today they raised it to 2.7% from 2.4% -Atlanta FED head Bostic pictured
U.S. economy grows 1.6% in Q1, slowing more than expected
S. economic growth slowed more than expected in the first quarter, but an acceleration in inflation suggested that the Federal Reserve would not cut interest rates before September.
Gross domestic product increased at a 1.6% annualized rate last quarter, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis said in its advance estimate of first-quarter GDP on Thursday. Growth was largely supported by consumer spending.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast GDP rising at a 2.4% rate, with estimates ranging from a 1.0% pace to a 3.1% rate. The economy grew at a 3.4% rate in the fourth quarter. It is expanding at a pace above what U.S. central bank officials regard as the non-inflationary growth rate of 1.8%. The International Monetary Fund last week upgraded its forecast for 2024 U.S. growth to 2.7% from the 2.1% projected in January, citing stronger-than-expected employment and consumer spending. Job gains in the first quarter averaged 276,000 per month versus the October-December quarter's average of 212,000.
The economy has defied prophecies of doom since late 2022 following the Fed's aggressive rate-hiking campaign to stamp out inflation. The United States is outperforming other advanced economies. Consumers locked in lower mortgage rates, while businesses refinanced debt before the tightening cycle began, economists say.

Dow drops more than 500 points on inflation and growth concerns, heads for biggest drop of the year: Live updates
(It’s really not THAT bad but these fear pron headlines make people only care about it when it drops….keep eye on 10y…that eclipses last Oct high the FOMC gonna come in w/emergency cut)
Stocks tumbled Thursday after the latest U.S. economic data showed a sharp slowdown in growth and pointed to persistent inflation.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 611 points, or 1.6%, weighed down by steep declines in Caterpillar and IBM. The S&P 500 dropped 1.3%, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.7%. S. gross domestic product expanded 1.6% in the first quarter, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said. Economists polled by Dow Jones forecast GDP growth would come in at 2.4%.
Along with the downbeat growth rate for the quarter, the report showed consumer prices increased at a 3.4% pace, well above the previous quarter’s 1.8% advance. This raised concern over persistent inflation and put into question whether the Federal Reserve will be able to cut rates anytime soon.(more than 3 days of this they will-this is the game because after about 2.5 days of heavier losses Mr. Margin calls on line 1)
Tech tumble
The lackluster GDP added further pressure to an already-tense market contending with concerns over a pullback in growth among technology earnings. Meta
plunged 13% after the social media giant issued light revenue guidance for the second quarter. That would be the stock’s biggest one-day decline since October 2022. International Business Machines also fell 8% after missing consensus estimates for first-quarter revenue.
