The Nasdaq 100 futures are down 125 points and are trading 1.1% below fair value.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 218 points and are trading 0.7% below fair value.The third estimate for Q3 GDP revealed that consumer spending increased 2.3%, versus 1.7% in the second estimate, and 2.0% in the second quarter. That upward revision helped drive an upward revision for Q3 GDP growth to 3.2% (2.9%) from the second estimate of 2.9%. The GDP Price Deflator was revised up to 4.4% 4.3%) from 4.3%.
