U.S. economic momentum softened in early 2025: real GDP slipped at a 0.2% annual rate in Q1 after rising 2.4% in Q4 2024, as a jump in imports and lower government spending outweighed gains in investment, consumer outlays, and exports; the GDP figure was nudged up 0.1 point from the advance estimate thanks to stronger investment. Core demand remained positive—real final sales to private domestic purchasers grew 2.5%—but inflation pressures persisted, with the gross-domestic-purchases price index up 3.3% and core PCE prices up 3.4%. Real gross domestic income also fell 0.2%, and corporate profits reversed sharply, dropping $118 billion after a hefty Q4 increase.
