🔶 The growth of the American economy in the third quarter exceeded forecasts.
The American economy grew at a rate of 3.4% in the third quarter of 2026; This growth is higher than the growth of 2.2% in the previous quarter and the market forecast of 3.2%.
According to the initial estimate of the American Bureau of Economic Analysis, published on Thursday, October 29, the increase in investments and government spending were the main factors of this acceleration. On the other hand, the decrease in exports and the faster growth of imports offset part of this increase.
At the same time, the pressure on prices eased. The price index of expenses for personal consumption rose at an annual rate of 2.1 percent, while this figure stood at five percent in the previous quarter. The growth of this index, excluding food and energy, also decreased from 3.3 to 2.5 percent.
