 Markets are still digesting yesterday’s blockbuster US GDP report — growth came in at 3.8%, the fastest pace in nearly two years, and far above expectations. Strong data may look like good news, but for investors it complicates the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) path: if the economy is still running hot, do we really need rate cuts this year?
