El PIB de EEUU crece un 0,4% en el segundo trimestre

According to the US Department of Commerce's Economic Analysis Office, the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose by 0.4% in the second quarter on an annualized basis. This marks a slowdown of 0.4 percentage points compared to the first quarter, when the US economy expanded by 2.1%. Consumer spending, exports, and investment were among the factors behind the GDP growth in the second quarter, but these were somewhat offset by a decline in government spending, as well as a deceleration in investment and exports.

Additionally, the Commerce Department reported that the inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, had risen by 0.2% from the previous month to reach 3.6%.
