economy hits pre recession mark


There are a couple of implications to the data.

1. First the fact that inventories were run down during the quarter, while weighing negatively on GDP in the current quarter, also set up the prospect of firms increasing their orders with manufacturers to restock their inventories which could be a positive for the following quarter(s). Out of all of the ways that GDP could be revised downward, a drop in inventories, as it sets up that prospect of further future orders increasing, might be the best one.

2. On the other hand, we can view the GDP in a negative light in that it may mean that the prospect of more quantitative easing from the Fed is increased.
