[Barclays Raises U.S. Q4 GDP Growth Forecast] Odaily Planet Daily News – Barclays economists noted in a research report that the Federal Reserve is likely to view the unexpected acceleration in U.S. Q3 GDP as a signal of still-strong underlying demand. Although volatile components such as net exports may have exaggerated the overall growth momentum, the continued expansion of consumer spending still demonstrates fundamental resilience. Economists pointed out that despite fluctuations in economic performance in the first half of 2025, overall demand had gathered significant momentum by the end of the year. Based on this, Barclays has slightly raised its forecast for year-over-year Q4 GDP growth by approximately 0.3 percentage points to 2.0%. (Jin10)
