BlockBeats news, on July 30, the U.S. economic growth in the second quarter exceeded expectations, rebounding from the decline caused by trade conflicts at the beginning of the year. However, even so, the overall trend of economic growth still appears to be slowing slightly, remaining at a lower level compared to recent years. Data shows that after excluding inflation factors, the initial value of the annualized quarterly growth rate of the U.S. GDP in the second quarter grew by 3%, exceeding expectations.
