GDP is a lagging indicator

Moreover, as a lagging indicator, some question the true value of the GDP metric. After all, it simply tells us what has already happened, not what is going to happen. Nonetheless, GDP is a key determinant as to whether or not the United States is entering a recession.

I'm somewhat stunned today the market isn't rocketing up .... I don't think 4.1% GDP was baked in to current market value, then again I'm no expert and I could be wrong.

The market may have already factored in 4% growth.
