0853 GMT [Dow Jones] The market is probably well prepared for US 1Q '07 GDP to come in at +1.8%, well lower than +2.5% in the 4Q '06, but the market is now focusing on the 2Q and it this which could inflict real damage on the USD. While the 1Q data is expected to show the consumer remains strong and the rest of the economy weakening, 2Q numbers should show a reverse, says ING Financial Markets. "The outlook isn't going to be much better for 2Q since consumption is likely to be significantly weaker," the bank says. "This suggests that the USD will remain under downward pressure for some time yet." (NEH)
