U.S. Consumer Spending Shows Minimal Growth Amid Inflation Concerns

According to Jin10, inflation-adjusted consumer spending increased by 0.1% compared to January. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, excluding food and energy, rose by 0.4% from the previous month. The annual rate of the core PCE price index, favored by the Federal Reserve, recorded a 3.0% increase.
