The United States economy grew at a solid pace over the first three months of 2026, rebounding from sluggish performance<\/a> at the end of last year, a government report on Thursday showed.<\/p>\n

The economy grew at an annualized rate of 2% in the first quarter, marking an acceleration from 0.5% growth recorded in the previous quarter. The performance came in slightly below economists’ expectations.<\/p>\n

The fresh data covers a period mostly before the outset of the Iran war<\/a> on Feb. 28, which sent gasoline prices surging and prompted warnings of a possible recession.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.<\/p>\n
