April 26 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo on Wednesday lowered its first-quarter forecast for U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) growth by 100 basis points to a 0.8% rise, days after revised data from the commerce department showed weaker retail sales in March. The Wall Street bank said it had reduced its estimate for retail sales and tweaked its expectation for inventory accumulation.
