EIU Nowcast: Housing data pushes nowcast higher
2024-04-07 10:56
The EIU nowcast for 2020 Q1 US GDP growth moved up to 1.86% (Y-on-Y) as of 21st Feb 2020, 0.08 percentage points higher than that of 14th Feb 2020.
Higher than expected housing data for January 2020 pushed the nowcast higher, even as flash estimates of PMI for February 2020 showed signs of weaknesses.
