The GDP data did not surprise, which was in line with expectations, but on the downside was the reading on orders, which clearly fell short of market expectations. The market picture is mixed. Quarterly PCE data slightly below expectations, negated by a higher GDP deflator reading. The lower-than-expected claims and the previously mentioned orders are the main drivers of the moderate decline of dollar immediately after publication.
