Indicator	As of	Latest	1Y change	vs avg	This week
Economic growth (real GDP) Economy	Q2-2026	2.2%	▼ -180 bps	-63 bps	Growth is running hot alongside hot inflation; recession risk reads low even as households feel squeezed. GDPNow estimates 3.6% growth this quarter; services PMI at 55 and manufacturing at 54 (September) both expand; the recession-probability model reads 0.6% (August). Fuel is squeezing other spending: retail sales fell 3.2% in the month to September, and the 4.1% saving rate (August) is the lowest since November 2022. Consumer confidence at 52 (August) sits at deep-slump levels while output grows: households feel the prices, not the growth. Credit is not the problem: banks tightening business loans reads 0.0% (Q3) and financial conditions at -0.50 (Oct 9) remain looser than average.
