The U.S. economy shrank faster than previously thought during the first three months of 2025, with growth contracting for the first time in three years. 

The country's gross domestic product fell at an annual rate of 0.5% from January through March, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in its third and final GDP report for the period. The agency's initial first-quarter GDP report, issued in April, estimated a 0.3% decline, which was later revised to a 0.2% dip in its second print.

Crazy... will this make the dollar lose even more value? I was shook to see that EURUSD increased from like 1.04 when Trump came into office to 1.1732 now :omg:

Forgive me if my maths is wrong but that's almost a 17% drop in value for USD?

The decay of the US dollar...:saladga:

But is anyone surprised?...People have been cutting back due to the increasing cost of living, gas, food, vacations, concerts, etc

This Black Friday might see a boom since people will most likely try to buy larger purchases they've been delaying to get

Not only have people been boycotting and/or saving their money- they’re actively deporting innocent people who otherwise would be spending their lives consuming products and services in this country. 
 

There’s a 99.9% that any given country’s fascist leader is an idiot who surrounds themselves with yesmen. 
 

And then there’s the tariff inflation and purchasing power of the dollar. All signals point to Americans having a significantly worse life because of Trumps policies.

Cut interest rates?

Does the word inflation mean anything to you? We’re not out of the woods yet especially considering there’s no indication that tariffs won’t cause a recession at the same time. They literally just ceased negotiations with Canada today. We have no idea where that will end up or that the USMCA will hold up.

Bombing iran & the subsequent oil situation may force the Fed's hand & they'll have to cut interest rates.

Or, you know, let America get what they voted for.
