United States's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy, released quarterly. It is the broadest single gauge of economic health and is closely tracked by the Federal Reserve when setting monetary policy.
Why FX traders watch it
GDP is a primary driver of central bank rate decisions—strong growth raises the probability of tighter monetary policy, which tends to support the usd. Divergences in growth between two economies are a core foundation of FX fundamental analysis.
How to interpret the data
A print above consensus suggests the United States economy is expanding faster than expected, which is broadly positive for the usd. A miss can fuel rate-cut expectations and weaken the currency. Revisions to prior quarters can be as market-moving as the headline release.
