Economy slows to 1.1 percent growth in Q1 report
The Commerce Department data shows U.S. GDP expanding at a 1.1 percent annual pace in January through March as higher interest rates dampen housing and inventories. Consumer spending remains solid at 3.7 percent, with inventories accounting for a 2.3 point drag. The slowdown follows nine Fed rate hikes aimed at taming inflation, with banks tightening credit conditions and a housing market strain likely to persist. Analysts warn of a possible mild recession, though some expect a soft landing.
