U.S. GDP remains in solid shape and continues to grow (0.5% in Q4 2025), potentially supported by the ongoing surge in technology investments. Q1 2026 GDP also grew 1.6%. Much of the recent growth has been driven by sectors such as wholesale trade, information services, and healthcare, which have been key contributors to overall economic activity. On the weaker side, the federal government sector has weighed on growth, largely due to spending cuts and the impact of the government shutdown.
