GDP grows better-than-expected 4.8% in Sept quarter !!

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast growth of 4.6 percent. September's figure percent was the fourth successive quarter of economic growth below 5 percent. The economy grew a higher-than-expected 4.8 percent in the three months through September, helped by an uptick in agriculture and construction, government data showed on Friday.  The economy is struggling to rebound from a long slowdown. Economic growth virtually halved in two years to 5 percent in the fiscal year -- the lowest level in a decade -- and most economists surveyed by Reuters last month expect 2013/14 to be worse. Manufacturing rose an annual 1 percent during the quarter and mining fell by 0.4 percent, the data showed, while farm output rose 4.6 percent.

Happy Thanksgiving, #guru, #respect, #love !!
