U.S. Economy Shows Strong Growth in Q3, Defying Inflation Pressures
Data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and other sources indicate a 3.4% annualized increase, while consumers keep spending and AI investment surges.
The third‑quarter GDP rose at a 3.4% annual rate, according to preliminary data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, covering July through September.
Consumers kept spending despite persistent inflation, and the surge in artificial‑intelligence investment continued, indicating private confidence.
September inflation accelerated, with the personal consumption expenditures price index projected to rise 0.5% for the month, implying an annual 3.7% rate.
Other outlets reported the same 3.4% growth: a government report cited by ABC News, the Washington Examiner’s seasonal‑adjusted estimate, and CNBC’s better‑than‑expected figure, all noting the reading was the first of three estimates and showed improvement over the second quarter.
