GDP
In the second quarter Americans spent more money, but mostly overseas; imports took a clean 4 percentage points off the annualized GDP number. Housing investment picked up a bit, but it was nonresidential fixed investment that provided the biggest boost to demand. Inventory accumulation continued to accelerate, though not as quickly as before.
