US GDP lifts 3.3 per cent in fourth quarter
==========
The US economy grew at a 3.3% annualized rate in the fourth quarter, driven by stronger-than-expected consumer spending. Consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of US economic activity, jumped 2.8% in the quarter. The Commerce Department's GDP report also shows that inflationary pressures are falling. Analysts believe that the strong fourth-quarter growth will continue into the New Year, which suggests that the US Federal Reserve may need to cut interest rates later this year. As a result of the positive GDP report, US stocks, including the S&P 500 index, reached new record highs.
