US Economy Seen Growing 4.3% in Q2 as Atlanta Fed Tracker Signals Sharp Rebound

The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model projects US GDP growth at a 4.3% annualized rate this quarter, pointing to a much stronger expansion than earlier this year.
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.
