Version 0.36 (2023-12-11 07:53:11.804000)

updates: The U.S. economy is expected to end the year with vigorous growth despite slowing down, according to a report by Chain Store Age. The GDP growth for the year is projected to be 2.5%, higher than expected. The GDP grew at an annualized pace of 3.2% in the first three quarters and is expected to slow to 1.2% in the fourth quarter. Gross domestic income (GDI) grew less than GDP for the fourth consecutive quarter, indicating a slowdown. Consumer spending and retail sales have also slowed down. However, hiring remained steady in October, although job openings were at their lowest level since March 2021. Inflation, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, was at 3% year over year in October, the lowest level in two-and-a-half years. The U.S. economy grew at a robust annualized rate of 4.9% in the last quarter, marking the largest growth since 2021, according to a report by Aviation Analysis Wing. This growth was driven by consumer spending, government spending, and export growth. Rising wages relative to prices have increased families' spending power, contributing to the strong economic performance. However, experts expect economic growth to slow in the next quarter due to decreasing savings and global uncertainty. The revised report by the Department of Commerce also indicates that the U.S. economy grew at a rate of 5.2% in the third quarter of 2023, surpassing initial estimates. This growth rate exceeds economists' forecast of 5%. The upward revision was mainly due to better-than-expected business investment, government spending, and the housing sector. Nonresidential fixed investment saw an increase, contributing to the overall growth. Consumer spending increased at a solid 3.6% annual rate, slightly lower than the previous estimate of 4%. Private investment also surged at a 10.5% annual pace, including a 6.2% rise in housing investment. The economy also benefited from companies building inventories and government spending. Despite the strong GDP growth, there are signs that the economy is slowing. Momentum appears to have waned as higher borrowing costs curb hiring and spending. The labor market is easing, with job growth slowing and the unemployment rate rising. Cooling consumer spending and a downturn in the housing market are also contributing to the slowdown. Economists expect further cooling in the coming months as higher interest rates impact borrowing costs. Slowing demand has raised optimism that the Federal Reserve is probably done raising interest rates this cycle. Some economists forecast a slowdown in economic activity in Q4 and expect a recession starting in mid-2024 due to tight monetary policy, but it is expected to be short and mild. The U.S. economy's resilience and adaptability have contributed to its growth and stability in the face of various challenges. According to the report, the U.S. economy received a boost from inventory building and increased government spending. Corporate profits also saw a significant rise, with non-financial sectors leading the way. However, there are signs of a slowdown as the year closes, with modest increases in inflation-adjusted outlays. The U.S. merchandise trade deficit widened in October. The overall economic landscape is navigating through various internal and external pressures. Looking ahead, economists predict a mild recession or slowdown in growth for 2024 due to low savings rates, increased credit card usage, and delinquency rates. Gross domestic income, largely composed of wages and salaries, has been declining in the US over the past four quarters. This is because inflation has eroded the real income of consumers, despite wage increases. Prices for transportation, food, and housing have increased by 25%-35% since January 2019. The perception that consumers are better off due to wage increases and a strong labor market has led to continued spending. In Canada, the economy avoided a recession, but GDP growth contracted in Q3. The labor market is also slowing, but wage gains remain robust. The Bank of Canada is unlikely to hint at rate cuts, as their rate hike campaign is working. Consumers are reeling in spending, and growth is consistent with inflation inching closer to the 2% target.

updates: The U.S. economy experienced a 5.2% growth in the third quarter, the fastest in nearly two years. Consumer spending increased at a rate of 3.6%, while business investment and housing were stronger than initially reported. Gross domestic income rose by 1.5%. Despite a downward revision, consumer spending remained robust due to a strong job market and increased travel and events. The start of the holiday shopping season showed mixed results, with Cyber Monday sales reaching a record high but Black Friday sales disappointing. The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation metric was revised down to a 2.8% annual rate. Adjusted pretax corporate profits increased, primarily in the non-financial sectors. After-tax profits for non-financial corporations also improved.

updates: The US economy grew at a faster pace than expected in the third quarter of 2021, according to the latest data. The country's gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annualized rate of 2.3% in Q3, surpassing economists' forecasts of 2.1%. This growth was driven by increased consumer spending, which rose by 2.8%, and a surge in business investment. However, the report also highlighted some challenges, including supply chain disruptions and rising inflation. Despite these obstacles, the stronger-than-expected GDP growth indicates a positive recovery for the US economy.
