  • US GDP looks strong despite a turbulent year. Can the U.S. economy keep it up?

    From morningstar.com

    The kitchen sink was thrown at the economy in 2025 - punishing tariffs, higher inflation, rising unemployment - but the U.S. might still be growing at an above-average speed in a sign of surprising pluck. Gross domestic product, the official scorecard of the economy, is forecast to show 3.2% annual growth in the third quarter when the report is published Tuesday. The GDP report was postponed two months because of the government shutdown. The U.S. also expanded at a frothy 3.8% pace in the second quarter.

The FF TDS crew is going to have a rough holiday.
As long as Trump is spewing forth lies, ignoring the Constitution, murdering civilians on the high seas and issuing tantrums about the Fed, the FF TDS folk will hardly even have a chance to consult with their therapists, let alone take any holiday.

[quote]How come?

Incomes are rising slightly faster than inflation, for one thing.

Unemployment, meanwhile, is still historically low even though it's risen to a four-year high of 4.6%. Layoffs have also stayed extremely low and most people feel secure in their jobs, giving them the confidence to spend.

Finally, a raging bull market has boosted the wealth of upper-income families, leading to what economists call a bifurcated economy. The better off are still spending plenty of money, while middle- and lower-income families are struggling to keep up.[\quote\]

By now, Q3 GDP - which should have been reported almost two months ago - is ancient history but it still matters in a world where the Fed's every sneeze is overanalyzed. Which is why the report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis that in Q3 US GDP surged by 4.3%, up from an already hot 3.8% in Q2 and driven by a spike in consumer spending, will surely raise ...

This was primarily due to a strong performance from net trade with exports rising 8.8% and imports falling 4.7%. This means that net trade contributed 1.6pp of the 4.3% headline growth rate.
