TechFlow, December 24 — Barclays economists said in a research report that the Federal Reserve is likely to view the unexpected acceleration of U.S. GDP in the third quarter as a signal of persistently strong underlying demand. Although volatile components such as net exports may have exaggerated the overall growth strength, the continued expansion of consumer spending still reflects fundamental resilience. The economists noted that although economic performance fluctuated during the first half of 2025, aggregate demand had accumulated significant momentum by year-end. Based on this, Barclays slightly raised its forecast for fourth-quarter GDP growth by about 0.3 percentage points to 2.0%. (Jinshi)
