Gross domestic product expanded at a 4 per cent annual rate as activity picked up broadly after shrinking at a revised 2.1 per cent pace in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said yesterday.
That pushed GDP above the economy's potential growth trend, which analysts put somewhere between a 2 per cent and 2.5 per cent pace.
