USD (Neutral) The economy continued to lose momentum in the third quarter, expanding at a weaker-than-expected 2% inflation-adjusted annual rate, and many signs suggest it will stay in a lukewarm zone in the months ahead. Economists expect decent gains in consumer spending to offset further weakness in the housing and vehicle sectors. Slow economic growth is likely to continue in the near term.
