In the US session GDP data was published. Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.0 percent in the first quarter of 2018 according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter, real GDP increased 2.9 percent. In the second estimate, the increase in real GDP was 2.2 percent. With this third estimate for the first quarter, the general picture of economic growth remains the same; private inventory investment and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) were revised down.
Tomorrow’s session will be marked by Eurozone CPI figures. Analysts predict 2.0% increase.
