In previous post we ended up our study on "What Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Means to Traders".Today’s post we will dig more into the GDP figure and also observe the components that put together the number and the reason and importance to traders.
The overall GDP growth or lack thereof in a whole GDP count, traders will also view the growth or lack there of in various sections that set up the number. In an Economy GDP represents the value of all that you can imagine of data that  enter in compiling the number, that which is published for market participants to see. By viewing at various pieces that set up GDP. We can get a overall view of not just what is happening but also about various components of the economy that are reported on to arise with the final number.
At this moment we can expand many sessions by viewing overall data that is in this report.  The aim here is to develop a structure for knowing the major module so that we as traders can better know what is happening when the forex trading market respond to some pieces of the report and will identify when to dig deeper for further know how on what is going on in a certain region. The certain group that is significant to have an knowledge of are:
  1. Personal Intake Expenses – the  US economy is 65% made up of this kind,  the individual consumer i.e. the growth or deficiency thereof in their intake,  they also  most heavily focus on spending their money on goods and services. 
  2. Private Venture – private venture includes the buying of things like computers, equipment and stock lists (also known as fixed assets) by dealings, buying of homes and shelters by individuals, and investment of stock lists of commodities to sell.  All these things are significant to know that how much businesses are investing is an excellent sign of how they sense for future progress, and the level of  experience of housing market is also a significant factor of the economy.
  3. Government Expenditure – it includes all the government spends other than social programs.

The GDP number will give you a sense of how much each of the above improves for the quarter and its total role to the economy. The number above will then break down into more thorough numbers that will go into accumulating the final number for the above 4 groups.
