US GDP Accelerates to 3.4% in Q3, Defying Recession Fears as Consumer Spending and AI Investment Surge

US GDP Accelerates to 3.4% in Q3, Defying Recession Fears as Consumer Spending and AI Investment Surge

What’s happening

US gross domestic product grew at a 3.4% annualized rate in the third quarter, exceeding economist expectations of 3.1%, powered by robust consumer spending and accelerating business investment in AI infrastructure. The stronger-than-expected growth contradicts household sentiment surveys showing consumer pessimism.

Market impact

The data supports a soft-landing narrative and reduces near-term recession risk, providing cover for the Federal Reserve's rate-hold stance. However, the divergence between GDP strength and consumer confidence may signal that spending is driven by wealth effects and corporate capex rather than broad-based income growth.
