The U.S. economy expanded at a 3.4% rate in the third quarter of 2026, according to Yahoo Finance, adding to evidence of strong economic activity. Reuters reported that the latest data challenged Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s characterization of the economy as “not too hot,” while The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page described an investment boom. Bloomberg reported that the economy’s headline strength continued to contrast with the experience of many households.
Mexico’s economy also grew during the quarter, expanding 0.9% from the previous three months, preliminary seasonally adjusted data from national statistics agency INEGI showed. That was down from 1.4% quarterly growth in the second quarter but above the 0.7% increase forecast in a Reuters poll.
Mexico’s services sector grew 1.1% from the second quarter, while industrial activity rose 0.8%. Primary activities, including agriculture, livestock and fishing, contracted 0.4%. Compared with the third quarter of 2025, Mexico’s GDP increased 3.2%, exceeding economists’ 2.5% forecast, though the comparison benefited from an economic contraction a year earlier.
