Goldman Sachs:

  • Our final Q3 GDP tracking estimate stands at +2.9% (qoq ar)
  • Roughly in line with the consensus of forecasts that were updated after the September trade report
  • We look for a strong boost from net exports, solid consumer spending, a small contribution from capital expenditures, and another (albeit smaller) drag from inventories
