U.S. Economy Slows Amid Shutdown, AI Investment

On Friday the Commerce Department reported U.S. real GDP rose at a 1.4% annualized rate in Q4 2025, below the 3.0% Reuters forecast and down from 4.4% in Q3. The nonpartisan CBO said the 43-day government shutdown trimmed roughly 1.5 percentage points from fourth-quarter output; economists noted AI investment in data centers, semiconductors and software fueled about one-third of 2025 growth.
