The first look at American year-on-year GDP hits at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The Street is looking for 1.27 percent growth compared to a prior reading of 2.2 percent. Today’s number is particularly important as it is being released the day the FOMC will release its policy statement and, sadly, the growth expectations are not anything spectacular.

Economists are expecting very weak growth, however no one is looking for a contraction, according to Bloomberg data.
