Official data released on Thursday revealed that the <a href=https://www.rttnews.com/3462977/u-s-gdp-growth-accelerates-more-than-expected-in-q2.aspx?type=useco target=_blank >gross domestic product grew a faster-than-expected 2.8 percent in the second quarter</a> after rising 1.4 percent in the first quarter.

Second quarter growth was 0.2 percentage points above the Atlanta Fed's final GDPNow model nowcast released on July 24.
