The Commerce Department will release its second estimate of fourth-quarter gross domestic product at 8:30 a.m. ET. 

Economists forecast that the value of all goods and services produced in the US increased at an annualized rate of 2.5%, according to Bloomberg. 

That's down from the 2.6% growth rate stated in the first estimate, as economists project that consumer spending, the biggest contributor to the economy, was not as strong as initially reported. The consensus forecast now sees 3.6% growth in personal consumption, down from 3.8%.
