US Economy Surges in Q3 Despite Interest Rates and Inflation Concerns
TL;DR Summary
The US economy exceeded expectations in the third quarter of 2023, with real GDP growing at an annual rate of 4.9%, the highest since Q4 2021. Consumer spending rose 4%, led by housing, healthcare, and financial services. Durable goods orders also surged by 4.7% in September. However, there are concerns about the sustainability of this growth, as personal savings decreased and there are potential risks ahead, including a government shutdown and student loan payments resuming. The US Dollar remains supported, while gold experienced a pullback but continues to be underpinned by safe-haven appeal.
