Trots alla rekordhöga räntor: Inflationen stiger – igen

trots alla rekordhöga räntor: inflationen stiger – igen

Nya siffror om läget i amerikansk ekonomi. Arkivbild.

I flera månader har USA visat på gott mod i ekonomin. Men USA:s ekonomi växer betydligt långsammare än väntat. Positivt för dem som hoppas på sänkt USA-ränta. Men samma statistik visar att den underliggande inflationen tickar upp.

Den amerikanska ekonomin är en rejäl besvikelse. EKonomin växte bara med 1,6 procent av BNP i årstakt under första kvartalet.

Det är betydligt lägre än de 2,5 procent som många analytiker hade hoppats.

MISSA INTE: Ditt sparande och pension blåste bort på onsdagen – vad nu?

Långsammare tillväxt

Under kvartalet innan, alltså det fjärde kvartalet i fjol, växte ekonomin med 3,4 procent. Det var med andra ord ett dubbelt så starkt kvartal som det första kvartalet i år, enligt experterna.

Men att tillväxten halverats borde vara ett gott tecken för att en sänkt ränta kommer snart.

Styrräntorna höjdes i hela världen som följd av bland annat rusande inflation efter Rysslands illegala invasion av sitt grannland i Europa, Ukraina.

Beklagligt: Inflationen fortsätter upp

När nu de höjda räntorna har fått den önskade effekten, att kyla av ekonomin, är det mer troligt än någonsin att räntorna sänks snart.

Även inflationen är kvar på hög nivå. Prisökningarna fortsatte med 3,1 procent, vilket är högre än kvartalet innan, då priserna steg med 2 procent jämfört med kvartalet innan dess.

Det var också högre än de 3,0 procent som ekonomerna hade räknat med.
