EZ Flash GDP q/q

Monitor EZ Flash GDP q/q to gauge economic health. Key for Forex and equity valuation.

Overview

This indicator represents the broadest measure of economic activity and serves as the key indicator of the economy's overall health. The 'Previous' figure corresponds to the 'Actual' from the Preliminary Flash report, which is why the 'History' data may appear uncorrelated. Three versions of GDP are released approximately 20 days apart: Preliminary Flash, Flash, and Revised. The Preliminary Flash release is the first to be published and typically has the most significant impact.

Key Information

What it Measures

Usual Effect
