Coronavirus depresses U.S. consumer spending in April

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer spending suffered another month of record decline in April as the COVID-19 pandemic undercut demand, buttressing expectations that the economy could contract in the second quarter at its steepest pace since the Great Depression.

Surge in U.S. Incomes Masks Fragile Situation for Many Americans

April’s record plunge in U.S. consumer spending came with an unexpected twist: a record surge in Americans’ incomes, which had been forecast to decline amid massive job losses.

Record drop in U.S. consumer spending as Americans stay home

With U.S. stores shuttered and many Americans stuck at home, U.S. consumer spending plunged by a record 13.6% in April. That's the biggest drop since the government began tracking that data in 1959, and that decline was even deeper than economists had forecast. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, and that plunge supports expectations that the economy could shrink in the second quarter at its steepest pace since the Great Depression. Spending on healthcare dropped as dental offices closed and hospitals put off elective surgeries. Americans spent less less at restaurants and on hotels. The drop comes despite a surge in personal income. Stimulus checks that the government issued lifted incomes 10.5% last month, rebounding from a drop of over 2% in March when people began to stay at home. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is set to speak in a public webcast Friday, and Wall Street is watching closely to see if he have the Fed restart large-scale purchases of bonds to boost…

2 startling graphs illustrate how nervous Americans are about the future of the economy

April was a month of historic increases and decreases due to the coronavirus outbreak. On Friday, the government reported that consumer spending in April plunged 13.6 percent from the month prior, which Bloomberg says is "the sharpest drop in Commerce Department records back to 1959." Meanwhile, the personal savings rate, which describes the amount of a person's disposable income that they are putting into savings, hit 33 percent in April, "by far the highest since the department started tracking in the 1960's, and [surpassing the] consumer savings during the Global Financial Crisis," CNBC reports. The personal savings rate hit a historic 33% in April, the BEA said Friday.
