GDP MARKET UPDATE HEADLINES

March 2014

 AMERICAS

 

ASIA

 EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST

AMERICAS

 United States

Markets and economists are responding to news that real gross domestic product grew less than previously estimated in the fourth quarter with a yawn.

Data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis shows that real GDP — which measures output produced in the United States — grew at an annual rate of 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The second estimate is down 80 basis points from the 3.2% advance estimate BEA put out in January. The figure shows fourth quarter growth relative to the third quarter, when real GDP increased 4.1%.

The lowered fourth quarter estimate, explained BEA in a release, reflects smaller than previously estimated growth in personal consumption expenditures. There were also downward revisions to business investment in inventories and exports, as well as state and local government spending. These were partially offset by an upward revision to business fixed investment and inflation.

Stocks were trending up following the release. Joseph Lake, U.S. analyst for The Economist Intelligence Unit, wrote in a note on the results that the downward revision, “was widely expected and does not alter the big picture that the U.S. is continuing to slowly recover from the financial crisis.” Adding, “Consumer spending, while revised downwards from the original estimate, still grew by its fastest pace in almost two years, a reflection of the improvement in the underlying economic fundamentals, which bodes well for 2014.”   (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

ASIA

 India

Recently released data show that real GDP in India grew at a year-over-year rate of 4.7% in Q4-2013. Although the outcome was in line with the consensus forecast, it marks the seventh consecutive quarter in which GDP has grown at a sub-5 percent rate. The days of very robust economic growth that characterized the middle years of the last decade are clearly a thing of the past.

Although output in the service industries accelerated, suggesting that growth in consumer spending likely remained solid in the fourth quarter, growth in the agricultural and utility sectors slowed. The downshift in construction—growth slowed from 4% in Q3 to nearly 0% in Q4—may reflect the effects of monetary tightening by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), while the contractions in the mining and manufacturing sectors illustrate the continued challenges faced by Indian industry.   (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST

Eurozone

It was the third quarter of growth since the end of an 18-month recession, the longest period of contraction to affect the single currency area.

It has now managed three consecutive quarters of growth as the wider economy responds to the calmer conditions that now prevail in the region's financial markets.

But it is still distinctly sluggish; certainly not robust enough to be likely to make much of an impact on the serious jobs problem suffered by some countries.

The best that can be said is that unemployment has stabilized. Nor is the growth strong enough to dispel the growing concern that the eurozone might be heading for deflation (falling prices). .   (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

A complete analysis of GDP and monthly updates for individual countries are included as part of the Water and Wastewater Treatment Chemicals: World Market.
