SpanishGold Hits Highest Level Since Sept 2020 as Russia Invades Ukraine, U.S. Prelim GDP Data in Focus; Feb 24, 2022
U.S. Prelim GDP q/q
Today is such a big day as at the one side Russia invades Ukraine while on other side U.S. will come up with the Prelim GDP q/q data at 1330 GMT/1900 IST. Due to ongoing tentions between Russia and Ukraine, what will be the likely movement at the time of indicator release is unknown.
Prelim GDP is the broadest measure of economic activity and the primary gauge of the economy’s health. While this is q/q data, it’s reported in an annualized format. The ‘Previous’ listed is the ‘Actual’ from the Advance release and therefore the ‘History’ data will appear unconnected. There are 3 versions of GDP released a month apart – Advance, Preliminary, and Final. The Advance release is the earliest and thus tends to have the most impact.
Let’s see how Gold has reacted durign the previous data release:
