  • That estimate follows a rebound from near-stagnation in Q4 2025, when growth ran at 0.5%, to a 2% pace in Q1 2026.
  • The new forecast underscores the economy’s resilience and suggests momentum has accelerated further if the tracker proves accurate.
  • Wall Street economists are watching whether incoming data will confirm the model’s upbeat signal for second-quarter growth.
