“Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 (October, November, and December), according to the advance estimate released today by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the third quarter, real GDP increased 4.4 percent. The contributors to the increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter were increases in consumer spending and investment. These movements were partly offset by decreases in government spending and exports. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased,” says Friday’s “GDP (Advance Estimate), 4th Quarter and Year 2025 report” by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Economists had expected 2.5 percent, per CNBC, so yeah it definitely crushed expectations. Guess that explains why fat tits was trying to get in front of it by blaming Dems and Jerome Powell.
