The December 2017 to January 2018 percentage change was revised from up 0.8 percent (±0.4 percent) to up 1.0 percent.
The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 1.8 percent in 2017, compared with an increase of 1.0 percent in 2016. The PCE price index increased 1.7 percent, compared with an increase of 1.2 percent. Excluding food and energy prices, the PCE price index increased 1.5 percent, compared

compared with an increase of 2.8 percent in the third quarter.
The increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, residential fixed investment, state and local government spending, and federal government spending that were partly offset by a negative contribution from private inventory investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased

Oil market is ''stabilising'' and oil prices are ''improving'' Iraqi minister Luaibi says
The survey of 109 firms, consisting of 53 retailers, revealed a weak month for retailers, with year-on-year sales volumes declining for the first time since October 2017.
Additionally, sales for the time of year were significantly below normal, and by the greatest extent since April 2013. The volume of orders placed with suppliers, meanwhile, was broadly unchanged.
The fall in retail sales was broad-based, with lower sales at non-specialised stores (i.e. department stores), furniture & carpets, clothing, and other normal goods the main drags on headline sales growth.

Both economic and income expectations, as well as propensity to buy, are on the increase again.
GfK forecasts an increase in consumer climate for April of 0.1 points in comparison to the previous month to 10.9 points. Apparently the drop in mood in February was just a small dip, even if the losses from the previous month have only partly been compensated for. The decision of SPD party members to enter into the Grand Coalition did not have any significant extra effect on the mood.
European stocks finished with solid gains Tuesday, breaking a string of losses as concerns about a potential global trade war eased and as investors turned their focus to merger news and other corporate developments.
U.S. stocks ended sharply lower Tuesday, as a selloff in the technology sector fueled a rout that wiped out much of Monday's sizable gains. Recent weakness has been attributed to concerns over a potential trade war between China and the U.S. as investors assess the likelihood of any protectionist policies and the impact of any retaliatory measures from trading partners.
Technology stocks led the way lower in Asia on Wednesday, dragged by the sector's slide in the U.S., as the region lost its early-week gains.
