US Q2 2026 GDP Revised Up to 2.2% From 1.5%

U.S. second-quarter growth was revised to 2.2% annualized, up from the 1.5% first reported by BEA, according to Sept. 30 data. Annualized means the quarterly pace projected over a year. I read this as steady expansion, not a slowdown — it topped the 2.1% Reuters economist forecast, with consumer spending up 3.2% that Reuters reported.
