Economy grows at 3.7 percent GDP in Q2 despite weak consumer spending
The Commerce Department said the US economy expanded 3.7 percent annualized in the second quarter, driven by a big rise in business inventories. Revised Q1 growth fell to 3.3 percent from 3.4, and 1993 Q4 growth to 6.3 percent. Analysts caution inventory buildup may be temporary and rising rates could curb spending. An inflation index for GDP rose 2.9 percent.
