Gross domestic product — the value of all goods and services produced by the U.S. — grew at a 4% annual clip in the second quarter, the government said Wednesday. Newly revised figures also show that the economy contracted by a somewhat smaller 2.1% in the first quarter instead of 2.9% as previously reported.

Economists polled by MarketWatch predicted GDP would grow by a seasonally adjusted 3.2% in the April-to-June period. U.S. stock futures SPY +0.12% extended gains on the data.

The rebound in growth offers further proof that a plunge in first-quarter GDP was an outlier. The economy contracted sharply in the first three months of the year mainly because of an unusually harsh winter and a decline in health-care spending tied to the introduction of Obamacare.
