According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, GDP grew at a 2.4% rate, down from 3.2%. Personal consumption growth was slashed to 2.6% from an earlier estimate of 3.3%; economists were looking for 2.9%. However, the biggest drag to growth continues to be government spending, which is negative. Meanwhile, the core PCE deflator, an important measure of inflation, was revised up to 1.3% from 1.1%.
