The release

How it is measured.

National statistical agencies publish preliminary estimates soon after each quarter and revise them as more complete data arrives.

Why markets watch it.

GDP is the broadest measure of economic activity. Because it is published with a delay, markets often treat it as confirmation of trends already visible in more timely data.

An explanation of why the release is followed, not a view on what any market will do when it is published. Educational information, not investment advice or a recommendation to trade.
