US economy growth fell short in Q2
U.S. real GDP, adjusted for inflation, increased by 1.5% in the second quarter, despite the observed weak growth due to a decline in net exports and imbalances in trade data. Consumer spending rose by 3.2%, with a strong increase in the core demand indicator (final sales to domestic buyers) of 3.9%, the highest rate since the start of 2023. This reflects the continued strength of the American economy amid rising household expenditures, lower gasoline costs, and decreasing inflation. Additionally, weekly unemployment benefit claims dropped below expectations, totaling 197,000 claims, indicating that the economy continues to hold up despite challenges.
