More numbers for the Fed to ponder - GDP & price deflator:

GDP growth was slower (from CNNFN - first report)

The economy grew at a 4.1 percent rate in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said Thursday, which was weaker than economists' forecasts and below the department's initial estimate of a 4.5 percent rate of growth for gross domestic product.

The price deflator, a key measure of inflation, was unrevised at 1.4 percent, which was in line with forecasts.
