Atlanta Fed Slashes Q3 GDP Estimate By 50% To Just 0.9%

(Before It's News)

Yesterday, when the Atlanta Fed boosted its Q3 GDP tracker from 1.4% to 1.8%, the permabulls were crowing how the global recession has been called off. We are confident they will be mysteriously mute, however, following today’s dramatic revision lower which cut the number for the current quarter by half to just 0.9% as a result of the previously reported tumble in the advance report on U.S. international trade which slashed the Atlanta Fed’s model contribution of net exports to third-quarter real GDP growth by 0.7 percentage points to -0.9%.

As a reminder sellside consensus is at just 2.4% still, if not for long.
