The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow forecast for the US economy for Q1 2017 slipped to 0.9% on lower consumer spending. Bear in mind that at last reading the NY Fed’s NOWCAST is at 2.96%.
Real personal spending declined in February by -0.1% while PCE core MoM slowed to 0.2%.

Just as long as Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer doesn’t say “MoMmie.”
