The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States, a crucial indicator of economic growth that measures the value of goods and services produced, rose at an annualized rate of 1.6% in the first quarter of 2024, driven primarily by non-discretionary fixed investment and government spending and falling well short of the 2.4% consensus expectation.
