The U.S. economy is expected to grow at a steady pace in the second quarter, indicating that the country is avoiding the recession that many forecasters had predicted for this year.
The actual annualized GDP for the second quarter is set to be released, and the market currently predicts a growth rate of 1.8%, which is a slowdown from the 2% growth rate in the previous quarter but still largely consistent with the growth seen in the pre-pandemic years over the past decade.
Economists are now revising down their expectations of an economic recession, as many had previously anticipated that the recession would begin around the middle of this year due to the impact of Federal Reserve policies.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the benchmark rate to its highest point in 22 years. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell did not rule out the possibility of further rate increases, but he emphasized that cooling down inflation might take time.
Amy Crews Cutts, Chief Economist at AC Cutts & Associates, stated, "We have weathered the storm, and the U.S. economy is no longer heavily leaning toward a recession but rather finding a balance between recession and non-recession."
