GDP surges
The U.S. economy experienced a significant surge in GDP growth, reaching a 4.3% annualized rate in the third quarter of 2025. This growth was driven by strong consumer spending, a notable increase in exports, and government spending. Despite a slight decrease in private fixed investment, the overall economic performance was robust, with the personal consumption expenditures price index rising by 2.8% and core PCE inflation at 2.9%. These figures indicate a resilient economy that continues to defy expectations and challenges. Bureau of Economic Analysis
