The Mechanic Escreveu:WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. economy contracted at a much smaller pace in the second quarter of the year, the Commerce Department reported Friday, suggesting that the trough of the recession has been reached.
Real gross domestic product -- the inflation-adjusted, seasonally adjusted value of all goods and services produced in the economy -- fell at a 1.0% annualized rate in the second quarter, well below the average 5.9% decline over the last six months.
The rate of contraction for the first quarter was revised down to a 6.4% drop compared with the prior estimate of a 5.5% decline.
Although the latest data are "less worse" than in prior months, the severity of the recent recession came into sharp focus because this is the first time since the Great Depression that the economy contracted for four consecutive quarters.
In the past four quarters, the economy has fallen a record low 3.9%
The big story for the second quarter was that businesses slowed their frenetic efforts to cut back investment, stockpiles and investment.
As planned, the federal stimulus package kicked in, boosting government spending.
The trade sector also bolstered the economy in the April-through-June quarter.
The 1.0% decline in GDP was smaller/larger than the 1.2% contraction expected by economists surveyed by MarketWatch.
The Federal Reserve expects growth to return in the current quarter, Fed chief Ben Bernanke said earlier this week. The Fed expects positive growth at around a 1.0% annual rate in the final six months of the year, Bernanke said in an extraordinary town hall meeting with residents of Kansas City.
President Barack Obama chimed in as well, saying on Thursday that he was expecting a negative quarterly growth rate for the second quarter.
Obama said he had not seen the gross domestic product figures to be released on Friday, but he referred to a consensus by economists that the U.S. economy had seen a "significant slowing down of the contraction over the last several months."
Although job losses remain ata level he called too high, they were not proceeding at the pace that was seen at the beginning of the year, Obama said.
"I suspect that the GDP numbers will still show that the economy contracted in the second quarter (and) that job loss is still a huge problem," the president said.
"We're not going to rest until we have seen not just a technical improvement in GDP, but until the American people's job prospects, their incomes have rebounded. And that's going to take some time," he said.
For economists, the report on the second quarter, now already a month passed, is old news. They are primarily interested in any hints of how the economy entered the third quarter.
GOE , lê isto , que é bastante interessante .
Básicamente, embora o GDP até tenha saido melhor que o esperado, a verdade é que pela 1ª vez desde a Grande Depressão, caiu 4 trimestre consecutivos e daí a reacção primária dos futuros .
Os responsáveis esperam agora um regresso ao crescimento (1%) no próximo trimestre e no fundo, o que todos estão à espera , como eles dizem , é dos outlooks para o futuro uma vez que esta noticia "é passado".
Um abraço ,

Texto interessante sem dúvida.
Também demonstra outra possível interpretação. Há tantas.. Eheh
Mas esta queda das duas uma, ou é falsa e daqui a pouco está anulada, ou então estamos a dar inicio à tão aguardada correcção, que possivelmente nos levaria em torno dos 950pts, e seria bastante saudável para entrarem "compradores novos" no mercado..

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)
The U.S. economy contracted at a much smaller rate than in the past six months, the Commerce Department reported Friday. Real gross domestic product fell at a 1.0% annualized rate in the second quarter, compared with an average 5.9% drop over the past two quarters.
However, this is the fourth straight quarter with a contraction in GDP. This has never happened before since records began in 1947.
The big story for the second quarter was in the much smaller decrease in business investment, exports and inventories.
There was also an upturn in federal and state government spending.
The government also released comprehensive benchmark revisions to GDP data, but they did little to change the basic story of the economy.
