U.S. Economic Growth Slows to 1.6%: U.S. economic growth slowed in the first part of the year, falling short of economists’ expectations.
on.wsj.com/3UypAig
Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications
- The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.
