deceleration

The growth was a slight deceleration from the 3% annualized increase in the second quarter, but U.S. economic activity continued to far outpace almost every other developed nation.

It was Bairstow’s dismissal, via a catch at deep square leg off a Shaheen Afridi short ball, that signalled England’s deceleration.

A factor in the economic deceleration is the Supreme Court’s decision to declare as unconstitutional legislation that granted a 20-year concession to a huge copper mine.

“Mortgage rates have been stable for nearly two months, but with continued deceleration in inflation we expect rates to decline further,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist.

That would mark a deceleration from a vigorous 4.9% growth rate in the July-September quarter.
