Incomes rose 0.3 % in August spending ebbs

Personal Income and Its Disposition Report U.S. Economy

Americans cut back on spending in August and increased their savings, another sign that the U.S. economy has cooled off, government data showed.
Personal income inched up 0.3 % in August at the annualized rate of $17.68 trillion on the seasonally adjusted basis, reported by the Commerce Department.
Yet spending has barely changed over the past month, indicating consumers have grown more cautious and they are trying to rebuild their savings. Businesses, for their part, have less reason to hire and boost production if consumer demand slackens. And without more hiring, consumer spending is likely to remain subdued.

Meanwhile, disposable income advanced by 0.3 %, as well, lifting average American income to $47,529 at the annualized rate.

Personal consumption expenditures remained unchanged. The combination of higher income and lower spending allowed consumers to boost their savings rate to 6.6 % from 6.7 % in July, what explains the decline in interest income.
A slower pace of consumer spending is one reason that economists are cutting estimates for gross domestic product growth.
