The US economy has reported a remarkable growth rate of 3.8% in the second quarter, a substantial increase from earlier estimates. This unexpected expansion has been attributed to robust consumer spending, leading to a revision of the GDP growth forecast. The Commerce Department has confirmed this figure, marking the fastest economic growth in nearly two years. Despite the positive data, concerns remain in the market regarding underlying factors that may impact future growth. The dollar has strengthened in response to this revision, while gold prices have moderated.
