The US economy expanded at an annualized rate of 3.4% in Q3, surpassing expectations, primarily driven by AI-related capital investment, government spending, and consumption. This robust growth is confirmed, but an accompanying acceleration in inflation to 3.6% introduces complexity for Federal Reserve monetary policy, potentially reducing near-term rate-cut odds and raising the possibility of further rate hikes. The sustainability of this growth hinges on the durability of the AI investment cycle.
