GDP Growth Surges in Q2 The U.S. economy posted a remarkable 2.8% growth in Q2, surpassing the 2.0% forecast and significantly improving from the previous quarter's 1.4%.
Inflation Measures Show Mixed Signals PCE Prices rose by 2.6%, below the estimated 3.0% and down from 3.4% last quarter. Core PCE, however, increased by 2.9%, exceeding the 2.7% forecast but lower than the prior 3.7%.
Job Market Remains Steady Jobless claims totaled 235,000, slightly under the predicted 237,000 and a drop from the previous week's 243,000.
So, we have inflation matching GDP growth? I'm not sure if I've seen this month's figures yet, but most of our GDP growth has been from government spending, which really shouldn't count.

USD is getting stronger than other currencies day by day. The propoganda to dedolarize the world is fake. Dollar is currently bigger than any other paper money but papers are only papers. We need Bitcoin.

Last Fiat standing is the USD. Especially if they will back it with BTC

under the right presidency and the fight against the deep state, america will return to its own interests. the time of imperial encroachment is definitely coming to an end and america is the country that is most likely to represent the free market economy. that's why i'm optimistic about the usa
