- The US economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.8% in the second quarter, the Commerce Department's third and final estimate released Thursday showed.

- The second-quarter recovery was supported by consumer spending and falling imports, while inventory building subtracted from the GDP growth.
- Economists note the 3.8% rate significantly exceeds prior reports and highlights the resilience of the world's largest economy.
- Economists estimate momentum continued into the third quarter, with the government's first estimate scheduled for release next month.
