Revised Commerce Department data shows weaker-than-expected growth as inflation indicators accelerated to their highest in years.<\/p>\n
The US economy expanded at an annualized rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling short of estimates, according to revised data released by the Commerce Department.<\/p>\n
The agency\u2019s second estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) showed the economy grew at a slower pace than the 2% pace projected in a preliminary estimate published last month.<\/p>\n
The US economy had grown 0.5% in the final quarter of 2025 and recorded overall growth of 2.1% last year.<\/p>\n
Growth in the January-March period was driven by increases in exports, investment, consumer spending and government spending, while rising imports weighed negatively on GDP calculations.<\/p>\n
The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, increased 4.5% in the first quarter, unchanged from the preliminary estimate.<\/p>\n
It was the strongest quarterly increase since the third quarter of 2022, following a 2.9% rise in the previous quarter. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy prices, was revised upward to 4.4% from 4.3% for the first quarter.<\/p>\n
The index posted its largest increase since the first quarter of 2023, following a 2.7% rise in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n
