Real GDP growth held broadly steady at 2.1% (annualised) in Q3, following the slowdown to 2.0% in Q2, but this masked diverging trends across subsectors. Consumer spending grew a still‐strong 3.2%, while business investment contracted 2.3% — the first back‐to‐back fall in capital spending since 2016. Trade and inventories also dragged slightly on growth, while residential investment surprised somewhat on the upside with a 4.6% surge following six quarters of contraction.
