  • US Gross Domestic Product (Second Estimate), Corporate Profits (Preliminary Estimate), Second Quarter 2025

    From bea.gov

    Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.3 percent in the second quarter of 2025 (April, May, and June), according to the second estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 0.5 percent. The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a decrease in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and an increase in consumer spending. These movements were partly offset by decreases in investment and exports. Real GDP was revised up 0.3 percentage point from the advance estimate, primarily reflecting upward ... (full story)

  • US economy grows 3.3% in second quarter, government says, in second estimate of April-June growth

    From apnews.com

    The U.S. economy rebounded this spring from a first-quarter downturn caused by fallout from President Donald Trump’s trade wars. In an upgrade from its first estimate, the Commerce Department said Thursday that U.S. gross domestic product — the nation’s output of goods and services — expanded at a 3.3% annual pace from April through June after shrinking 0.5% in the first three months of 2025. The department had initially estimated second-quarter growth at 3%. The first-quarter GDP drop, the first retreat of the U.S. economy in three years, was mainly caused by a surge in imports — which are subtracted from ... (full story)

Guys any prediction for gold
I predict that gold will remain yellow in color, be highly valued and very heavy - oh and it will likely range until US interest rates are solid.

Market Interpretation: "Good, but Not Good Enough"

The Headline: Came in at 3.3%, a solid beat of the 3.1% forecast and an upward revision from the initial 3.0% print. On the surface, this is unequivocally strong and USD-positive.

The Guts (Why it's not that strong): The key is in the inflation component within the report. The PCE Price Index was revised down to 2.0%. This is the "goldilocks" scenario for the market: stronger growth with lower inflation. It suggests the economy can grow without generating the price pressures that would force the Fed to stay hawkish.

All the weak of mind liberals are shouting false numbers. These vegetables are so pathetic.
What else is left to do for them?

Hot off the press - GDP growth data released today.

I just hope that all those who "believe," on the basis of merely a political bias as opposed to "know" on the basis of any knowledge of economics and economic data, that "idiot Trump wants to destroy the American economy with tariffs and the American consumers will pay for it" will eventually let go of their decadent view and smell the roses:

Annualized GDP growth quarter to quarter 3.3%, expectation was 3.1%, it was 3.0% in the previous quarter.

Annualized Preliminary GDP Price Index quarter to quarter, namely the price of all goods and services that go into GDP and it is thus a measure of inflation, came at 2.0% in line with expectations, it was also 2.0% in the previous quarter.

Unemployment Claims held steady at 229K, the usual level of unemployment claims for the well functioning national economy.

Brother. Study your chart and look at specific patterns that keep on repeating. And from there develop your edge so you would not be guessing or looking for clue from other traders.

But having said that I still give you a clue, wait for price to return to 3400 and see the price action from there if it will continue to rise or will fall back into range.

Trade safe!

economy recovering towards 5% to match China but that must be driven by technology, inflation is due to tariffs, but high rates continue to affect employment limiting investment since they need lower interest rates, in that number the applications do not make much difference, it continues adding to the negative average, in the end the tariffs also reduce employment in some sectors due to fear of companies and inflation lowers consumption in some sectors now ... in short, rate cuts are needed, and that is what Trump wants and it will be done and that's it, forget about the independence of the fed, the US always does what it wants because it is the king

The first-quarter GDP drop, the first retreat of the U.S. economy in three years, was mainly caused by a surge in imports — which are subtracted from GDP — as businesses scrambled to bring in foreign goods ahead of Trump’s tariffs. That trend reversed as expected in the second quarter: Imports fell at a 29.8% pace, boosting April-June growth by more than 5 percentage points
