Key Quotes

“The US economy contracted 1% q/q ann. in Q1 14 – the first drop in GDP since Q4 11”.

“The setback was mainly due to the harsh winter weather and less inventory build-up”.

“Both are temporary factors which will not weigh on growth in the second quarter where indicators suggest that growth has rebounded”.
