This is the second of three estimates of US quarterly GDP. Recall that US growth had reached a record of more than 33% in the third quarter of 2020, after a plunge explained by the health crisis. The price index linked to GDP climbed 2.1% in the fourth quarter, against 2% consensus.
US durable goods orders for the month of January rose sharply by 3.4%, against a consensus of 1% and an increase of 0.5% a month earlier. Excluding transport, orders improved by 1.4% in January, against 0.6% consensus and 1.1% a month before.
