Despite the contraction, business investment rose 9.8% and domestic private demand grew 3%, showing a mixed picture. With consumer spending slowing to 1.8% and signs of labor market cooling, concerns about a possible recession are rising. Here’s a full breakdown of the numbers, drivers, and what this means moving forward.
