The U.S. economy is forecast to have grown by just 0.3 percent in the second quarter, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta says.

According to the regional central bank’s closely watched GDPNow estimate, that’s slightly higher than the previous week’s projection of zero percent. Despite the slight uptick, this is still well below the peak of around 2.5 percent in the middle of May.
