Robust growth is often a prelude to monetary tightening, while stagnate levels provide an environment conducive to Quantitative Easing (QE).Traders monitor GDP (QoQ) releases closely.

Currency, equities, and commodities markets all exhibit enhanced degrees of volatility surrounding the GDP release.
