Mike Shedlock: BEA raises second-quarter U.S. GDP growth estimate to 2.2 percent
Second-quarter U.S. GDP revised higher

Mike Shedlock, author / blogger at MishTalk, reports that the Bureau of Economic Analysis has revised its estimate for second-quarter U.S. GDP growth upward by 0.7 percentage points, now reaching 2.2 percent.

According to Shedlock, this third estimate surpasses economists’ consensus expectations.

Shedlock recently pointed to a 0.4% rise in the August consumer price index, suggesting a likely September Fed interest rate hike in his earlier coverage. He also reported on a surge in long bond yields to a 22-year high driven by S&P PMI data and noted shortages, according to another recent article. These updates highlight Shedlock's continued focus on key U.S. economic metrics.
