US EditionUS Economic Growth Rebounds in Second Quarter
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – The 3% growth in Q2 was fueled by a 30% drop in imports and increased consumer spending, though economists warn underlying demand and investment remain weak.
- On July 30, 2025, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released a report finding GDP increased 3% in the second quarter, dwarfing the 2.3% forecast.
- Declining imports added over 5 percentage points to Q2 growth after a surge in the first quarter of 2025, driven by businesses stockpiling ahead of tariffs.
- Consumer spending, which fuels roughly 70% of U.S. GDP, rose 1.4%, but inventory reductions subtracted 3.2 percentage points, and real final sales grew just 1.2%.
- Amid economic momentum, the Federal Reserve is expected to hold its benchmark rate in the 4.25% to 4.5% range, with whether it will respond to calls for cuts remaining uncertain.
- Looking ahead, economists caution the gains largely reflect transitory trade distortions, with underlying demand growing 1.2% and subdued activity in the second half of the year.
