While gross domestic product rebounded in the spring after slightly contracting at the beginning of the year, a closer look at the data reveals a picture full of distortions and fragile foundations. According to the Commerce Department, the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3 percent in the second quarter, beating forecasts. But the number is deceptive. In the first quarter, there had been a decline of 0.5 percent, and both figures were heavily influenced by trade and inventory movements that hardly reflect the real dynamics. The decisive factor was Trump\u2019s fluctuating tariffs: companies and consumers stocked up on imports at the beginning of the year to avoid impending duties. This wave of imports caused growth to drop on paper, since imports are subtracted from GDP in the US economy. In the spring, the effect reversed because companies were already fully stocked and imports declined - a statistical boost to growth that was barely felt in the real economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pillars of gross domestic product - consumer spending, investment, trade, and inventories - showed a split picture. Consumer spending grew by only 1.4 percent in the second quarter, much weaker than in previous years, even though real wages and incomes rose by 3 percent. This signals that consumers, who had long been the reliable backbone of the economy, are becoming increasingly cautious. Business investment collapsed after a brief high in the first quarter, and housing construction remained in reverse under the pressure of high interest rates. The greatest volatility came from foreign trade. Early in the year, the import rush subtracted almost five percentage points from growth, while in the second quarter the decline in imports added more than five points. Inventory movements only partially reflected this zigzag: stocks rose sharply at first, but fell less noticeably in the spring, so the statistical distortion remained. Economists therefore expect subsequent revisions that could put the illusion of a strong spring recovery into perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Reserve also faces a dilemma. The central bankers want to leave interest rates unchanged for now, but they are weighing two narratives: either the US economy proves to be remarkably resilient, or it is already in a phase of creeping weakness. Unemployment and consumer confidence remain stable, and the recently passed tax and spending package from Congress could provide short-term stimulus - but in the long run, rising national debt poses significant risks. The first six months of 2025 thus deliver a contradictory picture: formally growing, but fragile beneath the surface. Trump\u2019s tariff policy has scrambled the numbers, and the real question is how long the economy can withstand these constant shocks. The upcoming revisions will show whether the spring was a genuine surge - or just an optical illusion in the statistical fog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:59px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\">Investigative journalism requires courage, conviction \u2013 and your support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-background has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kaizen-blog.org\/en\/unterstuetzen-sie-unser-arbeit\/\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Support Kaizen<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:54px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"us-business,topstory,trump-s-world\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1753895193\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Verzerrtes Aufb\u00e4umen \u2013 Wie Trumps Z\u00f6lle die US-Wirtschaft 2025 ins Wanken bringen\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/kaizen-blog.org\/en\/\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die US-Wirtschaft ist in der ersten Jahresh\u00e4lfte 2025 ins Schlingern geraten, und die turbulenten Zickzackbewegungen der Handels- und Zollpolitik unter Donald Trump haben tiefe Spuren in den Wachstumszahlen hinterlassen.
