The U.S. economy grew by 2.2% during the second quarter of the year, surpassing the forecasts of 2.1%. The data reinforced positive estimates driven by increases in consumer spending, investments, and exports, despite rising imports which reduced overall GDP. Sectors such as real estate, leasing, information, manufacturing of durable goods, and finance primarily contributed to this growth, while declines in transportation, retail, and manufacturing of non-durable goods slowed the pace. Additionally, the inflation rate for personal consumption expenses saw a slight increase of 5%, with a 3.3% rise in the core consumption expenditure index, following minor adjustments to previous forecasts.
