In brief
A strong GDP reading can shift Federal Reserve rate expectations, which in turn influences the US dollar, Treasury yields and risk assets globally. Currency pairs involving the dollar and rate-sensitive instruments are the most direct transmission channels to watch.

On the weighting question, I'd lean on the advance estimate only as a noisy first draft. Its revisions have historically been large enough that the 3.4% headline could move meaningfully once the second and third estimates come in. Before reading much into a beat versus the prior quarter, I'd want to know how often advance readings in similar expansions were revised by more than a point, and whether the surprise was driven by inventories or net exports, which tend to reverse. Does anyone have a sense of how the revision history looks for the components that drove this print?
