The preliminary U.S. growth data aligns with market expectations during the third quarter!

The U.S. Census Bureau released preliminary data on Wednesday regarding economic growth in the United States for the third quarter of the current year, which aligned with market expectations. The U.S. economy recorded growth of 2.9%, in line with market predictions that indicated a growth of 2.8%. However, this figure is lower than the second quarter reading of 3.0%.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a comprehensive measure of economic activity, reflecting the total value of goods and services produced in the country during a specific period. It is used to assess economic growth and investment performance. The components of the indicator include consumer spending, residential investments, and the inflation level, making it a key indicator of the overall economic situation.

On another note, the GDP price index rose by 1.9% during the third quarter, which is higher than the expected 1.8%, but lower than the previous reading of 2.5% in the second quarter. This reflects a slight decline in inflationary pressures.
