How to trade GDP days

GDP surprises move the entire rate curve. A US advance print 0.5 percentage points above consensus typically reprices two-year Treasury yields by 10–15 basis points and the dollar within seconds. The second and third estimates matter less unless the revision is large. UK and Eurozone prints drive gilt and bund yields respectively, and can spill into EUR/USD and GBP/USD even when the US is quiet. Watch the GDP release alongside the same-week PMI and labour-market data for a fuller growth picture.
