The US economy experienced a slower growth rate than anticipated in the first quarter of the year, although it still remained stable compared to historical standards. Over the past 12 months, economic growth has gradually decreased, which could lead to lower interest rates. However, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it is not in a rush to cut rates at this time.
According to the Commerce Department, gross domestic product (GDP), which measures all goods and services produced in the economy, had an annualized rate of 1.6% in the first quarter. This is a significant drop from the 3.4% rate in the fourth quarter and below the 2.2% rate predicted by economists in a FactSet poll. The figures are adjusted for seasonal fluctuations and inflation.
