updates: The US economy grew at its slowest pace in nearly two years in Q1 2024, with gross domestic product (GDP) increasing at a 1.6% annualized rate. Inflation also flared up, with a measure of inflation in the economy increasing at a 3.1% rate, the highest in a year. Despite the slower growth, the US economy is still expanding above the non-inflationary growth rate of 1.8% that US central bank officials regard as ideal. The combination of slower growth and increased inflation has raised concerns of stagflation. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen insists that the US economy continues to perform well. Economic pressures could weigh on President Joe Biden as he seeks reelection. US President Joe Biden acknowledges the need for more work in the US economy despite overall strong growth. The Q1 gross domestic product (GDP) report showed a slowdown to 1.6%, the slowest pace in two years, and a rise in the core PCE price index to 3.7% from 2% in Q4 2023. The Federal Reserve is concerned about rising inflation as it considers whether to cut interest rates. Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz, warns that the combination of weaker growth and higher inflation is problematic for the economy and markets. The Q1 GDP slowdown, along with downbeat Q2 guidance from Meta Platforms, led to a selloff on Wall Street and a climb in bond yields.

updates: US economy grows at slower rate of 1.6% in Q1, missing expectations

Version 1.11 (2024-04-25 13:59:11.718000)

updates: The US economy grew at an annual rate of 1.6% in the last quarter, reflecting a slowdown due to high interest rates. Consumers continued to drive growth but slowed their spending, and businesses reduced their inventories. Inflation has slowed to 3.5% from 9.1% in 2022, but prices remain above pre-pandemic levels. Republican critics of President Joe Biden have blamed him for high prices, and polls show that many Americans share this view. The economy's gradual slowdown is also influenced by weak spending on equipment, a drag on growth from international trade, and the time it is taking for inflation to reach the Fed's 2% target. The Federal Reserve has signaled that it expects to cut rates three times this year, but there is no rush to do so in the face of continued inflationary pressure.

Version 1.1 (2024-04-25 13:58:51.428000)

updates: The US economy grew at a slower pace than expected in Q1 2024, with a 1.6% annualized rate, compared to the forecasted 2.4% rate. The slowdown in growth was attributed to a jump in imports and a slower pace of inventory accumulation and government spending. However, consumer spending remained solid. The hot quarterly Personal Consumption Expenditure inflation component suggests that the Federal Reserve would not cut interest rates before September. The market reacted with S&P 500 futures falling 1.27% and U.S. 10-year yields rising to 4.721% after the release. Analysts have mixed views on the report, with some seeing it as a downshift in economic growth and a confirmation of accelerating inflation, while others believe it is good news that the downshift in government spending is likely welcome news for the Fed. The report is seen as the worst of both worlds, with economic growth slowing and inflationary pressures persisting. The Fed wants to see inflation start coming down, but the market wants to see economic growth and corporate profits increasing. The GDP report comes at a crucial time as investors digest the potential impacts of the Fed holding interest rates higher for longer. The US economy's slower growth and uncomfortable inflation numbers have led to a market fall at Wall Street's open. The report suggests that the US economy is finally starting to slow down in the face of the Fed's monetary tightening, but the battle to return CPI to target is still far from being won. The Fed is finding itself caught between a rock and a hard place, with growth numbers suggesting monetary policy has worked, but inflation figures suggesting otherwise. The market is reacting more to the PCE overshoot than the softer GDP print. The US economic growth slowdown and inflation surge reinforce expectations that the Federal Reserve would not cut interest rates before September. The Bank of Canada's governing council agreed that interest rates would most likely only come down gradually, given the risks to the inflation outlook.

The slower growth in the first quarter raises concerns about the impact of high interest rates on the economy.

Version 0.75 (2024-04-25 10:51:19.057000)

updates: The US economy likely grew at a slower pace in the first quarter of 2024, with economists expecting GDP to have risen at a 2.5% annualized rate, compared to 3.4% in the previous quarter. The deceleration in growth is attributed to higher borrowing rates resulting from interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Retail sales in the US have surged 0.7% from February to March, exceeding economists' expectations. Job gains in the first quarter averaged 276,000 per month, and unemployment has remained below 4% for 26 straight months, indicating a resilient labor market. Despite the slowdown in growth, the US economy continues to outpace the rest of the world's advanced economies, with a projected growth rate of 2.7% for the entire year of 2024. The U.S. economy likely extended its recent boom, albeit at a slower clip, in the first three months of the year, fueled by free-spending Americans who have continued to shell out despite inflation. Consumer spending rose by 0.8 percent in February, marking the largest one-month jump in over a year. However, there is mounting evidence that Americans are pulling back, with credit card debt rising 22 percent since the pandemic and delinquencies on credit cards and car loans also rising. Consumer spending is poised to slow in the coming months, potentially denting economic growth.

updates: The US economy is expected to have grown at a 2.2% annual pace in the first quarter of 2024, with consumer spending driving economic growth. The growth rate is expected to have decelerated from the previous quarter's 3.4% pace due to higher borrowing rates resulting from interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Despite the slowdown, the U.S. economy is outpacing other advanced economies, with a projected growth rate of 2.7% for the year. Inflation has slowed but progress has stalled recently. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates three times this year, but traders don't expect rate cuts to begin until the September meeting. Unemployment has remained below 4% for 26 straight months. Critics blame President Joe Biden for high prices despite the near-record-high stock market and the slowdown in inflation.

updates: The US economy is expected to grow 2.2% in 2024, up from the previous prediction of 1.3%. The upgrade in economic expectations is attributed to factors such as government and household spending, as well as the resilience of the job market and US household spending. Economists have doubled their estimates for job gains in the economy this year. Inflation has been cooling since its peak two summers ago, and most forecasters expect interest rate cuts to begin by mid-June. High rates are still seen as the most significant risk to the economy by 41% of respondents in the survey. The outlook for the international economy is less positive, with war, uncertainty, and instability weighing it down.
