Economic news this week – The second quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was released this week. It showed that the economy grew 2.8% in the second quarter, exceeding analysts’ expectations of a 2.1% increase. Technology stocks continued to drop for a third straight week. On the inflation front, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE), a key indicator for the Fed, was released on Friday. It showed that consumer prices rose 2.5% in June from one year ago. That is the lowest annual increase in two years, another indication that inflation is cooling. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, grew 2.6% year-over-year. Economists surveyed gave just an 8% chance of a rate drop at the Fed meeting next week but gave a 92% chance of a rate drop at the September Fed meeting. All the experts agree that a rate drop cycle is not far off, as the Fed’s key rates currently at a 25-year high have successfully tamed inflation.
