MARKET U P D AT E
U.S. economic growth generally followed along a slow trajectory in the 10 years leading up to the pandemic, with real gross domestic product (GDP) growing at an average annual rate of just over 2% from 2010 to 2019. The economic fallout from the pandemic caused the economy to contract nearly 30% in 2nd quarter 2020 before rebounding around 35% in 3rd quarter 2020. Most recently, GDP expanded at an annual rate of 4.9% in 3rd quarter 2023 (based on advanced estimates). That recent expansion was above the 2.1% growth seen in 2nd quarter 2023 and it was a considerable improvement from the 2.0% contraction in 1st quarter 2022.
