The annualized quarter-over-quarter growth rate of U.S. real GDP non-residential fixed investment in the third quarter of 2026 skyrocketed to 12.7%, accelerating significantly from the previous 8.4% and becoming the core engine driving the overall economy. This strong growth is primarily fueled by massive corporate capital expenditures on AI data centers and information equipment, demonstrating extremely strong economic resilience. Looking ahead, it is necessary to continuously monitor whether the capital investments of tech giants can be sustained, as well as the crowding-out effect of the high-interest-rate environment on traditional industry spending.
