on.wsj.com/3UypAig
Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications
- The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.

- Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.
