Why it matters for cross-border payments
Growth sets the backdrop for Fed policy. The advance estimate is the one that surprises most; later estimates usually move less.
Exchange rates can move sharply in the minutes after a release. If you are converting a large amount, knowing when the figure lands helps you decide when to book it.
