Inestng.com: U.S. gross domestic product increased at a 2.3 percent annualized pace in the first quarter, slower than the prior quarter but stronger than the expected 2-percent growth.

U. Michigan sentiment:

“The final April figure was nearly identical to its 2018 average (98.9) -which was higher than any other yearly average since 107.6 was recorded in 2000 (which was, in turn, the highest yearly average in more than a half century),” Curtin said.
