The data added 0.2pp to 3Q GDP tracking, bringing it up to 3.5%. 2Q tracking remains at 4.1%. [Aug 24 estimate].

And from the Altanta Fed: GDPNow

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2018 is 4.6 percent on August 24, up from 4.3 percent on August 16. [Aug 24 estimate]

From the NY Fed Nowcasting Report

The New York Fed Staff Nowcast for 2018:Q3 stands at 2.0%. [Aug 24 estimate]

CR Note: Still a wide range, and it is early, but GDP in the 3s seems likely.
