US100 loses after the important US data

After weaker than expected GDP data with very low jobless claims and higher than expected price index, futures on Nasdaq 100 (US100) weakened as traders expect Fed members to be pressured and hawkish, despite not as strong as expected American economy momentum. The biggest risk is of course as higher prices meaning inflationary pressure.
