Atlanta Fed GDPNow: Release Dates, Results & History
Atlanta Fed GDPNow last printed 4.6% on Wed, Aug 26, 2026 against a 4.0% prior. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
GDPNow is the market's running scoreboard for the current quarter: a pure model estimate rebuilt after each data input, no judgment overlay. Desks quote it as shorthand for the growth picture, and sharp revisions (especially early-quarter swings) make headlines and move risk sentiment. It's noisy early in the quarter and converges as data fills in.
The trend, at a glance
How it moves Treasuries
A big downward GDPNow revision feeds the growth-scare bid in Treasuries; upward lurches lean bearish. It amplifies whatever the underlying data release already did rather than acting as a standalone shock.
