US Data Does Not Bode Well For US GDP; Political Worries Weigh
While markets focused on the Draghi show, and for good reasons, the US released a big bulk of data. And the data has not been that good. Durable goods orders came out at 0.7% for March, much lower than 1.5% expected. It came alongside an upwards revision from 1.7%, which did not compensate. Core orders slipped by 0.2%, worse […]
