The U.S. Commerce Department released gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Wednesday. The U.S. final GDP soared 3.9% in the second quarter, up from the revised estimate of a 3.7% growth, after a 0.2% decline in the first quarter.
The upward revision was partly driven by an upward revision to consumer spending and business investment.
Consumer spending rose by 3.6% in the second quarter, up from the previous estimate of a 3.1% increase.
Business investment jumped by 6.2% in the second quarter, up from the previous estimate of a 3.1% gain.
