From BofA (forecast, not tracking):
GDP contracted by 0.3% q.q saar in 1Q, despite solid final demand (+2.3%). In our
assessment, the surge in imports (which took 5.0pp off 1Q growth) due to front-running
of tariffs was only partially reflected in stronger inventories and final demand. So we
have revised our 2Q GDP forecast to reflect a reversal of this dynamic. We now expect
2.0% headline GDP growth (vs. 0.9% previously), but with weaker final domestic sales. [May 2nd estimate]
emphasis added
From Goldman:
We launched our Q2 GDP tracking estimate at +2.4% (quarter-over-quarter annualized) and our Q2 domestic final sales estimate at +0.6%. [May 1st estimate]
And from the Atlanta Fed: GDPNow
The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the second quarter of 2025 is 1.1 percent on May 1, down from 2.4 percent on April 30. After this morning’s releases from the US Census Bureau and the Institute for Supply Management, the nowcast of second-quarter real personal consumption expenditures growth and real private fixed investment growth fell from 3.3 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively, to 1.9 percent and -0.7 percent.
