The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized rate of 3.3% in Q2, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), exceeding both the initial estimate of 3% and the market expectation of 3.1%.
Revision Details:
- Upward revisions in investment and consumer spending contributed to the stronger growth.
- Government spending was revised downward, partially offsetting gains.
- Imports were revised upward, slightly reducing the net GDP contribution.
This stronger-than-expected growth signals a resilient economy despite ongoing debates over monetary policy and potential Fed interest rate adjustments.
