Creşterea economiei SUA a încetinit în trimestrul doi

The US economy's growth slowed to 1.5% in Q2 2026, impacted by a widening trade deficit, despite strong consumer spending and robust AI-related investments. Analysts predict fiscal cuts and AI investments will support economic activity this year. Consumer spending rose by 3.2%, bolstered by tax cuts and increased stock market gains, even amid rising gasoline prices. However, the ongoing Middle East conflict poses risks to demand and could hinder growth in the latter half of the year. The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates and described economic activity as solid, with expectations of a rate hike in September to control inflation.
