What it is & how to read it

The Atlanta Fed's running estimate of current-quarter real GDP growth, updated as economic data is released. It is not a forecast of future quarters but a nowcast of the one in progress. Readings above ~2% suggest the economy is growing at or above trend; readings near or below zero warn of stall speed.
