US Economy I: \u2018Resilient\u2019 Is Still the Right\u00a0Word<\/p>\n

Since a very short, two-month recession in early 2020, the US economy has continued to grow despite numerous shocks (Fig. 3<\/a> below). The pandemic hit the US economy during February 2020 and quickly led to the March and April lockdowns that caused a recession during those two months. When the lockdowns ended, social distancing restrictions continued to weigh on the economy, but it continued to grow nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Global supply-chain disruptions hit the US economy hard during 2021 and 2022,\u00a0triggering a big\u00a0spike in US inflation, led by soaring consumer durable goods prices (Fig. 4<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Fig. 5<\/a>). To combat inflation, the Fed raised the federal funds rate from nearly zero on March 17, 2022 to 5.50% on July 26, 2023 (Fig. 6<\/a>). The bond yield jumped from 0.50% on August 4, 2020 to 5.00% on October 19, 2023.<\/p>\n
