U.S. GDP Growth Surpasses Expectations, Fed Hawks Gain Momentum
The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized rate of 4.4% in Q3 2025, exceeding forecasts and reinforcing President Trump's bullish growth projections. Consumer spending, exports, and government expenditures drove the upward revision, though imports—a GDP subtraction—declined.
This robust performance strengthens the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, dampening expectations for near-term rate cuts. Market participants now await the PCE data release at 18:00 for further inflation signals.
