The GDP Advance showed a contraction at -1.4% vs the 1.1% increase analysts had predicted, Core PCE came at 5.2% vs 5.4% expected. This was seen as a dovish sign boosting shares and letting the USD take at least a breather. There has been no change in the clear expectation of a 50 bps hike next week, the probability is at 96.2% while 3.87% are for 75.
