Americans’ Spending Slumps For Second Straight Month

Courtesy of ZeroHedge View original post here.

Americans' personal spending dropped for the second month in a row in December, despite a modest (better than expected) rise in incomes on pandemic relief.

  • Purchases decreased 0.2% from the prior month, following a downwardly revised 0.7% decline in November.

  • Personal incomes rose 0.6%, stronger than the 0.1% gain projected.
