The U.S. economy registered a 3.1% growth for Q3 2024, surpassing prior estimates, driven by strong consumer spending and export growth. This marks a continuation of robust economic performance amid high interest rates and ongoing inflation challenges. Despite an improved economic outlook, recent voter sentiment led to a political shift, with Donald Trump winning the presidency. The unemployment rate stands at 4.2%, while inflation has stabilized at 2.7%. The economy's fundamentals remain strong, prompting discussions on the potential impacts of forthcoming policy changes under the new administration.
