Takeaways:

The GDP increased at an annual rate of 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023, which is a deceleration from 4.9% growth in third quarter of 2023.

The growth primarily reflected increases in consumer spending, state and local government spending, exports, nonresidential fixed investment, and federal government spending.

Personal income increased by $230.2 billion in the fourth quarter and disposable personal income increased by $190.4 billion.

Corporate profits from current production increased by $133.5 billion in the fourth quarter. Profits of domestic financial corporations increased, while rest-of-the-world profits decreased.

There was a decrease in private inventory investment and a slowdown in residential fixed investment and private inventory investment, which partly offset the overall growth.

Can anyone explain something to me? I am an unexperienced, still learning Forex trader and I really don't understand what is going on. I thought USD/CAD and USD/JPY should go UP after those recent news releases. Why are they dropping so heavily? Thanks to anyone who can explain.

All of these numbers whether real or fake doesn't matter, because of one thing! FED CUTTING RATES!

Lol I could make that blanket statement for every CB will eventually cut their rates. When who knows but they'll cut it. That's not surprising at all.
The solution is (x).

The economy is way too hot for the FED to cut rates. They will hold or raise rates based on these numbers.
