According to sources, the US economy grew more than expected in the second quarter, rebounding from the earlier decline due to trade conflicts. However, the overall trend of economic growth still shows a slight slowdown compared to recent years. Data shows that excluding inflation, the actual GDP annualized growth rate in the US for the second quarter increased by 3%, surpassing expectations. Compared to the -0.5% in the first quarter, the growth in the second quarter constitutes a significant rebound. At the beginning of the year, US companies imported a large amount of goods in advance to avoid President Trump's tariff policies, leading to a sharp decline in GDP growth for that quarter. However, this trend reversed in the following three months. President Trump's aggressive tariff measures announced on April 2 initially did not have as severe an impact on businesses and consumers as expected, but instead spurred the recovery of economic data.
