Consumer spending came in slightly higher than expected in August, rising 0.6 percent, and personal incomes were up .4 percent last month.
People’s incomes rose 0.4% in August; spending grew 0.6%. Both figures are in current dollars.

The Federal Reserve's Next Move
— Charles V Payne (@cvpayne) September 26, 2025
This morning's inflation data came in line with the consensus, which is a good thing considering the chorus of people who suggested the number would be hotter than expected.
The Fed seems to be warming to a new inflation target.

"Inflation remains moderate and controlled due to good Republican policies like energy dominance, deregulation, and tax cuts," said Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz. "As a result, the Federal Reserve should continue lowering interest rates this fall to allow small businesses to access the credit they need to expand and hire. According to JCN polling, 69% of small businesses are having difficulty accessing credit in this environment, and 74% want the Fed to lower rates. By allowing small businesses to access the credit they need to start and expand, the Fed enables entrepreneurs to increase economic supply and put further downward pressure on prices while reinvigorating the American labor market and Main Street economy."
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and bold policies, America’s economy is back on track.
