The Atlanta Fed increased their GDPNow prediction to 5.4% for Q4 based on this new data.

They've been off on the low side the previous 2 quarters by about a point. If that holds, GDP will be around 6.4% for Q4. That's a monster number!

It was cut in half from the time it was artificially increased because were importing as much as they could before tariffs kicked in. Now it's back to the highest it was during the Biden administration. So he got it back to a still ****ty level (if one cares about the trade deficit) after driving it much higher on his own. Way to be treated like an idiot that doesn't understand context.
