US GDP Growth In Q3 Tops Expectations, Highest Since Q4 2021
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The U.S. GDP growth for Q3 2023 was revised upward to 5.2%, exceeding initial estimates and marking the strongest expansion since Q4 2021. The revision was due to better-than-expected nonresidential investment, residential investment, private inventories, and government spending. Consumer spending and exports also contributed to the growth, although at a slightly moderated pace. The U.S. dollar index, tracked by Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund (UUP), saw a positive reaction, while Treasury yields remained stable, as indicated by the US 10 Year Treasury Note ETF (UTEN). Market participants anticipate a potential Fed rate cut by May 2024.
