The opening of today's session on Wall Street brings gains to all stock market indices. The gain leader is currently the US100 index, which breaks above the 12,000 point barrier. However, all indices are trading above 1% gains despite the decline in US GDP. The second estimate of US GDP for Q1 comes out worse than the preliminary one. We have a decline to -1.5% in annualized rate from -1.4% and with expectations of 1.3%. Consumption, however, came in better than expected, with growth at 3.1% from an expected 2.8% and from the previous 2.7%.
