NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. economy is seen as having barely expanded in the first quarter following news of a steeper-than-expected drop in wholesale inventories in February, the Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDPNow forecast model showed on Friday.

The latest estimate on the annualized growth pace for U.S. gross domestic product seen for the first three months was 0.1 percent, slower than prior estimate 0.4 percent on Tuesday, the Atlanta Fed said on its website.

After the latest inventory data, the model forecast the drag from inventory investment on first-quarter GDP increased to 0.7 percentage point from an earlier forecast of 0.4 point.
