The U.S. economy grew at a much greater-than-expected pace in the third quarter, boosted by strong consumer spending, a delayed report released Tuesday showed.
U.S. GDP expanded by 4.3% in the July-September period, the Commerce Department said in its initial reading of third-quarter growth. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect a gain of 3.2%.
Consumer spending expanded by 3.5% in the third quarter after rising 2.5% in the second quarter.
Hahahahahađđđđ
That is all
Another Festivus Miracle!!
I’ve been telling people: we’re coming out of a recession. And yes, in January, we were in a recession worse than 2001 or 1993, even if it wasn’t “official.” But we’re not in a situation comparable to 1981, or even 1982, but instead 1983. So we’re not doomed to a repeat of 1982’s elections. Instead they could look more like 1984’s.
You didn’t expect Sec. Lutnick to disappoint, did you?
The democrats are screwed without a big economic crash. The economy has been down down down for 5 years imo and if it starts to truly improve their entire hopes for the midterms are gone.
They’re all smug and happy now so I’m guessing they’ll try to pull off something next year to intentionally screw it up.
Just wanna say this: the professional “expecters” SUCK at their job.
Folks, just look out the window!
Stagflation. Kinda like the Carter Years.
The economy was growing 1% but we were experiencing 10% inflation.
unexpectedly...
Greater than wished for.
The Fed can breathe easier that bond market will behave itself and not force a sovereign debt crisis. Foreign investors will continue to invest in America, housing will recover faster and real wages should begin to convince voters that growth is compensating for Biden's inflation.
All good.
Lots of âunexpectedâ BS from the lamestream media today.
This happened monthly dung Trump45 and means âour daily doom Drumpf drumbeat failed to depress, again.â
All the articles will include some variation on how itâs the rich who spend because theyâre still pushing class envy for 2026.
Anytime you read âK-shaped economyâ or get some #%*% ad about prices and tariffs itâs Marxist class warfare trying to get people to vote for their own destruction lest anyone else do as well or better.
In reality the regular folks finally have a chance vs the ObamaBiden kleptocracy of NGOs benefiting the connected with inflationary printed money.
So⌠guess there is no need for an interest rate cut.
The market is not going to like this. ( I knowâŚwe have entered the âgood news is badâ phase of the market cycle.)
4.3% !! That is truly excellent.
I believe it’s the best in the western world.
This reversal from bad to good has been done in less than a year, it proves that Trump knows how to do business.
The unemployment rate in Dec 1983 was over 8%. Can you imagine that today? The world would âmelt.â
Strongest quarter in over a year beeches:
“The last quarterly American economic growth report showing a growth rate of 4.3% or higher was in the third quarter of 2024.”
But but the MSM says it’s all about affordability.......
“Trump is in a panic speech” didn’t age well.
