U.S. grew 7% in 4th quarter, GDP shows, but economy enters more
uncertain period
The numbers: The U.S. economy grew at slightly faster 7% annual pace in the
fourth quarter, updated figures show, as Americans boosted spending and
businesses rebuilt their stockpile of goods after inventories fell to very low
levels.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast gross domestic product
in the fourth quarter to be revised up to 7%. GDP grew a slower 2.3% in the
third quarter.
The surge in the U.S. economy at the end of last year hasn’t carried over into
2022, however. Omicron blitzed the U.S. in January and consumers cut back.
The U.S. is forecast to expand by less than 2% in the first quarter.
The figures are adjusted for inflation.
Big picture: The U.S. economy appears to have entered a more turbulent period
after a speedy recovery from the pandemic.
The cost of borrowing is climbing as the Federal Reserve prepares to raise interest
rates for the first time in four years. Inflation has soared to a 40-year high. And
ongoing shortages of labor and supplies have handcuffed the ability of
businesses to produce enough goods and services to meet customer demand.
if that’s not all, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has unsettled financial markets and
is pushing already high oil prices even higher.
Most economists predict the U.S. will still grow a healthy 3% to 4% in 2022, but
the outlook has become more uncertain.
