In the week ending September 23, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 272,000, an increase of 12,000 from the previous week's revised level. The previous week's level was revised up by 1,000 from 259,000 to 260,000. The 4-week moving average was 277,750, an increase of 9,000 from the previous week's unrevised average of 268,750. This is the highest level for this average since February 6, 2016 when it was 277,750. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma impacted this week's claims.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the second quarter of 2017, according to the "third" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP increased 1.2 percent.

Real gross domestic income (GDI) increased 2.9 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 2.7 percent in the first. The average of real GDP and real GDI, a supplemental measure of U.S. economic activity that equally weights GDP and GDI, increased 3.0 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 2.0 percent in the first quarter.

The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from PCE, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, federal government spending, and private inventory investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from residential fixed investment and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased

The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 0.9 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 2.6 percent in the first quarter (table 4). The PCE price index increased 0.3 percent, compared with an increase of 2.2 percent. Excluding food and energy prices, the PCE price index increased 0.9 percent, compared with an increase of 1.8 percent.

In September 2017, the harmonised index of consumer prices for Germany, which is calculated for European purposes, is expected to increase by 1.8% year on year and to remain unchanged on August 2017.

• Q2 gdp grew in-line with expectations

• There remains a risk of resurgence in house prices

• House price growth has moderated further, this moderation is expected to continue

• Growth to maintain current pace going forward

• Domestic growth is projected to maintain its current pace going forward

• Expects future headline inflation to reach the midpoint of the target band over medium term

Excellent consumer sentiment will not continue unabated in September. Both income expectations and propensity to buy decreased. On the other hand, economic expectations increased slightly. GfK forecasts a decrease in consumer climate for October of 0.1 points in comparison to the previous month to 10.8 points.

However, consumers believe that the German economy's solid growth trend is set to continue in fall. Therefore, economic expectations will also increase after losses from the preceding month. In contrast, the previous five-month upswing in income expectations ceased in September. Propensity to buy also suffered due to the downturn. However, both measures remain at their current high levels so that a slight trend reversal downwards can be viewed more as a stabilization process.

• Likely that inflation will remain well anchored

• Low inflation gives Fed flexibility to raise rates more slowly

• Hurricane effects to 'significantly cloud' U.S. economic data in coming months

• Expects inflation to rise through end-2018, unemployment to fall below 'full employment' level

"Global economic growth has continued to improve in recent quarters. However, inflation and wage outcomes remain subdued across the advanced economies and challenges remain with on-going surplus capacity. Bond yields are low, credit spreads have narrowed and equity prices are near record levels. Monetary policy is expected to remain stimulatory in the advanced economies, but less so going forward.

The trade-weighted exchange rate has eased slightly since the August Statement. A lower New Zealand dollar would help to increase tradables inflation and deliver more balanced growth.

GDP in the June quarter grew in line with expectations, following relative weakness in the previous two quarters. While exports recovered, construction was weaker than expected. Growth is projected to maintain its current pace going forward, supported by accommodative monetary policy, population growth, elevated terms of trade, and fiscal stimulus.

House price inflation continues to moderate due to loan-to-value ratio restrictions, affordability constraints, and a tightening in credit conditions. This moderation is expected to continue, although there remains a risk of resurgence in prices given population growth and resource constraints in the construction sector.

Monetary policy will remain accommodative for a considerable period. Numerous uncertainties remain and policy may need to adjust accordingly".
