Economy Gains Modestly as Inflation Eases
The Commerce Department reported the US economy grew at a steady but unspectacular pace in the April-June quarter, with GNP at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.040 trillion dollars. Inflation fell to 4.2 percent, the lowest quarterly rate since 1968, while real growth ran about 3.4 percent. The gain was fueled by consumer spending but missed the administration’s forecast, prompting a higher discount rate by the Federal Reserve.
