Latest estimate: 5.4 percent — January 26, 2026

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the fourth quarter of 2025 is 5.4 percent on January 26, unchanged from January 22 after rounding. After this morning’s advance durable manufacturing report from the US Census Bureau, the nowcasts of fourth-quarter personal consumption expenditures growth and fourth-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth increased from 3.1 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively, to 3.2 percent and 6.4 percent.

So where are the tariff disaster people now?

Gold = $5,088.24 per ounce
Silver = $111.70 per ounce
Copper = $8.99 per ounce

The dollar is losing value by the second.

The economy is strong and getting stronger after the Biden disaster and its only been year. GDP Is the measure of economic growth. The dollar lost value because of Bidens inflation. You cant fix that right asway. It does make our exports less expensive. Rrad all the indicators
The Recovery from Biden is well on its way

Gold prices just reached a record high. Here's what's behind the surge.

Analysts point to rising geopolitical tensions and softer monetary policy as driving the year-end surge.

Your "real world" must be the dumb and the lazy. That would probably be a good name for a new soap opera, 'The Dumb and the Lazy'. At least if we had that, the dumb and the lazy would have something to watch on TV, while they're sitting on their asses, being dumb and lazy.

The leftards will never believe the economy is rebounding because they don't want the economy to rebound. They would like nothing more than to see a 9.1% inflation rate, $6 per dozen eggs, and $5 per gallon gasoline under Trump, so they can say he failed. While at the same time, they can't bring themselves to admit what a failure Biden/Harris was.

Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

$40 trillion in debt and your orange Messiah continues massive deficit spending, should tell you something.

BTW didn’t your messiah claim he was going to eliminate the nation debt in eight years? Was he lying AGAIN?

I don't care about the cost, as long as the left is crushed.

That's money well spent.

Nobody is looking at the underlying data. I mean the OP is a damn joke, GDP Now, it is meaningless. Let's look at the latest report.

Gross Domestic Product, 3rd Quarter 2025 (Updated Estimate), GDP by Industry, and Corporate Profits (Revised) | U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 4.4 percent in the third quarter of 2025 (July, August, and September), according to the updated estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 3.8 percent.Due to the recent...

www.bea.gov

We stroking above four percent, and that is good. But what is driving it.

The increase in real GDP in the third quarter reflected increases in consumer spending, exports, government spending, and investment.

Of course consumer spending has increased. But again, we are looking at July, August, and September. Expect another healthy increase in the fourth quarter as well. But there is one problem, found here,

the increase in real GDP in the third quarter reflected increases of 5.3 percent in real value added for private services-producing industries and 3.6 percent for private goods-producing industries

In a sense, that real value added is inflation. GDP naturally increases with inflation. But the second driver, government spending. It is UP. UP. Trump is spending more money than Biden did. DOGE was a big fat fail, little more than a con. The Trump administration is spending money like a drunken sailor. But worse, they are spending it badly.

I see a healthy fourth quarter, but again, these are backwards looking numbers. Rolling into 2026 things are not looking so well.

Bullshit.

Trump's economic policies work for the people. Gas is down. Income tax rates are down. Corrupt regulations put in place by the enemy within are being slashed. Real wages consistently go up with Trump in office, reversing the long term trend of them going down since the 70s.

There's much less economic oppression in general while Trump is in office.

Trump will not purposefully make the price of energy skyrocket like the Democrats promised to do.

Over the years since Obama and Stephen Chu admitted that the party of slavery's goal is to make energy prices skyrocket, they have done just that. They do it to prevent economic mobility amongst the poor.

That's also why the party of slavery implemented the non-sensical Cash for Clunkers fiasco. The plan was to take good used vehicles off the streets, causing an artificial shortage. A lot of cars, and more importantly, pickup trucks, were destroyed. Why? Because used pickup trucks are a tool traditionally used by the poor to lift themselves out of poverty. They are a driver of economic mobility.

During Trump's first term, his economic policies resulted in an all time record low poverty rate and he's fixin' to do it again.
