US GDP Growth Q2 Forecast
The market for 'US Q2 GDP growth to exceed 2.0%' has tightened significantly. Initial prints were optimistic, but recent retail sales data has been soft. I'm reassessing my position.

While retail sales are a factor, I wouldn't discount the services sector's resilience just yet. Q2 could still surprise if other components hold up.
I'm seeing the same thing. The initial optimism felt overblown, and now with the softer retail figures, it's hard to justify staying above 2%. What are others seeing in their models?
