Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth (USD)

Measures the quarterly change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced. GDP is the primary gauge of economic health. Strong, rising GDP typically leads to higher interest rate expectations and is generally bullish for the domestic currency (e.g., USD, EUR, AUD, GBP) in Forex trading, as it attracts capital inflows. Weak GDP growth signals recession risk and is typically bearish for the currency.
