Americans' Spending Jumps In July As Income Growth Slows Dramatically

• https://www.zerohedge.com

Following this week's GDP revisions, Americans' spending was expected to reaccelerate (after slowing for 3 straight months) and incomes are expected to see growth moderate, and that is exactly what happened.

Personal Spending jumped 0.6% MoM in July (the best since April) but Personal Income rose just 0.1% MoM (well below expectations and the slowest since Sept 2018)
