More solid economic news hit the wire in the US today. Preliminary results for Q2 GDP surprised to the upside, with total growth revised upward from 4% to 4.2%. While retail consumption didn't change all that much, fixed business investment was revised substantially higher - always good news for the economy. Moreover, inventory levels dropped sharply, which is often a good indicator of higher spending coming in Q3. In the meantime, initial jobless claims beat expectations again. This week's figure came in at 298k, better than 300k expected. The four-week average also dropped below 300k. For the US economy the trend remains positive, and once again, the beat rolls on.
