U.S. Advance GDP Quarterly Data
U.S is going to release advance GDP data at 1230 GMT/0600 IST. Along with this advance GDP data, U.S. will publish unemployment claims weekly data as well.

Markets expect negative reading around -34.5 pct vs -5.0 pct previous release. If actual data comes greater than forecasted one then only it is good for U.S. dollar. On the other hand, markets expect negative reading from unemployment claims (weekly) also. Market has forecasted negative reading around 1440K claims vs 1416K claims previous release. In case of unemployment claims, actual data must be lower than forecasted data.
