2026 Q3 GDP Forecast surges to +5.1% per Atlanta Fed




Now it's down to 3.7% in just two short weeks.


You clearly aren't aware so let me educate you, 3.7% would still be a huge quarter!




You clearly don't understand what the Atlanta GDPNow estimate reflects.
It is a snapshot in time as economic data comes out.

The "trend" is what is important.

You're welcome for the correct explanation of what GDPNow represents.
Thanks to Daddy Wags.

This is a great thread!

Note: My first Economy Thread had 342,902 views and 2,847 replies.

We have people who here don't know what the GDPNow estimate is and who don't understand the relevance of weak wage growth in the report for their excuses about the weak job growth so instead they immediately resort to personal attacks.

True.

My first thread on the ECONOMY had 343,902 views and 2,8947 replies in one year before it got "locked" because of a few trolls.

My second thread on the ECONOMY currently has 70,334 views and 901 replies.

Notice that the Trolls never start their own threads on anything, much less than about the ECONOMY.

To Dajo's point, they are economically illiterate "so instead they immediately resort to personal attacks"

This forum is dying as a result.
Trolls that repeatedly talk about the "posters" in the thread instead of the actual TOPIC.


Agree 100%

VOTE BLUE AND VOTE TALARICO

If this forum is dying its because the same three people post the exact same story day after day after day.

I would suggest you don't comment when you've gotten suspended twice in the recent past.

Nah, censorship sucks. Most of the good threads are ones I've started.

vote blue and vote Talarico

And you'd be wrong about that Yogi.
Nearly 343,000 VIEWS in only 15-months pretty much says it all.

That's roughly 760 views per day for 15-months straight.
Impressive!

Thanks.

1400 people got layed off at Navistar.
That's a fact.

That should tell you how poorly of a job Trump's tariffs have done to protect American manufacturing.

That, and the trade deficit that WIDENED to $132.6 Billion in August and up 11.5% from July.

Massive Failure.

I would say that you are 100% correct SBG.

When it comes to the markets, the knowledge base by MAGA is terribly low.
The recent "discussion" on the crude oil market is the poster child for this.

More often than not, MAGA has to resort to posting tweets from some talking head that they don't even fully comprehend. Because it is biased towards their politics, they simply "embrace" it without having a clue about it. We saw this repeatedly with tweets from conservative "influencers" like the college drop-out Amuse by Trump supporters.

It's FUNNY.

It's a CULT.
