The growth rate of real gross domestic product (GDP) is a key indicator of economic activity, but the official estimate is released with a delay,” said the Atlanta Federal Reserve on Tuesday.

 

Our GDPNow forecasting model provides a “nowcast” of the official estimate prior to its release by estimating GDP growth using a methodology similar to the one used by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis,” per their statement to the Daily Business News.

GDPNow is not an official forecast of the Atlanta Fed,” they explained. “Rather, it is best viewed as a running estimate of real GDP growth based on available data for the current measured quarter. There are no subjective adjustments made to GDPNow—the estimate is based solely on the mathematical results of the model.”

 

Latest forecast: 4.1 percent — May 16, 2018 

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the second quarter of 2018 is 4.1 percent on May 16, unchanged from May 15,” per the Atlanta Fed.

An increase in the nowcast of second-quarter real private fixed investment growth from 5.2 percent to 5.9 percent after this morning’s new residential construction release from the U.S. Census Bureau and this morning’s industrial production release from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors was largely offset by a decrease in the nowcast of the contribution of inventory investment to second-quarter real GDP growth from 0.81 percentage points to 0.72 percentage points,” per their statement to the Daily Business News.
