Today, it's all about yesterday's GDP report




BEA Table Showing the Q/Q % Change 











The main takeaways in today’s preliminary GDP estimate: consumers are inclined to pare spending on personal items but are ramping up expenditures in the residential sphere. Businesses, meanwhile, are increasingly cautious on capital investment these days.

and local level which more than made up for a drop at the federal level.
