“Manufacturers’ inventories for January through March 2017 were revised upwards, suggesting less of a slowdown in the change in private inventories in Q1. Therefore, our Q1 GDP tracking estimate has been raised by 0.1pp to 0.8% from 0.7%. Moreover, the upward revision to Q1 inventory accumulation created a higher jumping-off point for Q2. This implies a smaller increase in inventory accumulation in Q2 from Q1. Thus, our Q2 GDP tracking estimate has been lowered by 0.1pp to 3.5% from 3.6%.”
