GDP Growth Rate
About This Event
The GDP growth rate measures the annualized change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy. It is a key indicator of the economy's overall health. Higher than expected GDP growth is bullish, while lower than expected GDP growth is bearish.
The US economy expanded an annualized 1.6% in Q1 2026, up from 0.5% in Q4 but below 2% in the advance estimate, primarily reflecting downward revisions to investment and consumer spending. Consumer spending rose 1.4%, less than 1.6% in the advance estimate. The rise was mainly supported by demand for services (1.8%) while goods remained subdued (0.4%). Also, gross private domestic investment rose 7%, below the 8.7% reported in the advance estimate. Business investment in equipment surged 17.2%, while spending on intellectual property products increased 11.6%. In contrast, investment in structures fell 5.4%, and residential investment declined 6.2%. Meanwhile, net trade contributed negatively to GDP (-1.25 pp), as exports rose by 13.1% (vs 12.9% in the first estimate) while imports jumped 21.1% (vs 21.4%). Government spending rose 4.4%, in line with the initial estimate, recovering from a 5.6% contraction in Q4, as activity resumed following the end of the government shutdown. source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis
