A strong core economy

One of the reasons the US economy continues to grow is the strength of its labor market. Throughout the post-pandemic period, many experts predicted a significant economic slowdown as interest rates rose sharply. However, reality showed that job demand remained high, unemployment was relatively low, and workers' incomes continued to improve. This helped consumer spending – the largest contributor to US GDP – continue to grow steadily. When people have jobs and income, the economy is better able to withstand financial or monetary policy shocks.

The U.S. added 172,000 non-farm jobs in May, exceeding expectations. The unemployment rate remained stable at 4.3% for the third consecutive month, after upward revisions to previous months. Notable growth came from the entertainment/hospitality, government, and healthcare sectors.

Broader indicators such as the U-6 unemployment rate (including underemployed and discouraged workers) are at around 8.1%. Long-term unemployment has risen. Inflation remains high (CPI figures are around 4% or higher in recent data), and GDP growth is modest (around 1.6% in Q1 2026).

Donald Trump recently declared that the US has the "best economy ever ," highlighting strong employment figures and a stock market remaining near historical highs. This statement comes as the US economy continues to demonstrate significant resilience to high interest rates, while key financial indicators remain positive. Although this is a politically charged statement, it reflects the reality that the US economy remains the most important driver of global economic growth. Simultaneously, recent developments are creating a favorable environment for both the stock market and riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.

The US stock market reflects confidence.

Besides the labor market, the US stock market is also one of the factors frequently used by the White House to demonstrate the health of the economy. Over the past two years, the wave of AI has become a major driver of the capital market. Large technology corporations have continuously expanded their investments in data centers, computing infrastructure, and artificial intelligence, leading to a significant increase in market capitalization.

Notably, the current rally is no longer driven by just a few individual stocks. Capital is flowing into a wider range of sectors, including technology, finance, defense, energy, and data infrastructure. This reinforces the belief that US economic growth continues to be supported by a variety of drivers.

Unlike previous cycles, much of the current optimism is tied to expectations regarding AI. Companies like OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft, and many other technology infrastructure businesses are attracting massive investment. This not only generates growth for the technology sector but also fuels demand for energy, data center construction, semiconductors, and financial services. Many investors now view AI as a technological revolution equivalent to the internet of the 1990s. If this trend continues, it could become a long-term growth driver for the US economy for many years to come.

President Trump's rhetoric underscores the strength of the job market and the stock market. The stock market has performed strongly, with the S&P 500 reaching several record highs in 2026. Job growth has been positive over the past few months, and the unemployment rate remains low by historical standards – close to the level corresponding to a tight labor market. However, economists note a few points to consider: The 4.3% unemployment rate is stable but higher than the low of under 4% recorded at the end of 2019 (before COVID).

A landmark statement.

Trump's message resonated with supporters, who pointed to strong asset prices, corporate profits, and the economy's ability to create jobs despite external pressures (including geopolitical factors affecting energy costs). The stock market's performance generated significant wealth-building effects for investors and retirees. Critics argued that "best ever" is subjective, and broader measures—including real wage growth versus inflation, housing affordability, and the experience of low- and middle-income households—show a more complex picture.

Assessment and Conclusion

The U.S. economy by mid-2026 shows clear strengths in the financial markets and employment levels, reinforcing the President's optimistic outlook. Record stock market growth and stable job creation are genuinely positive signs that will benefit many Americans.

At the same time, persistent concerns about inflation, moderate GDP growth, and some signs of weakening in overall labor indicators suggest a strong but not entirely outstanding overall picture compared to all historical peaks. As new data (including the June jobs report expected in early July) is released, markets and policymakers will continue to assess whether the current expansion can maintain momentum or faces headwinds from inflation, fiscal policy, or external shocks.
