But we saved everything 🙂.
Liz Thomas reports that the personal savings rate has declined in recent months, reaching 2.6 percent as of April. This marks the lowest level since June 2022.
She also cautions that savings data from 2022 through 2024 have been subject to significant revisions in both directions.
Thomas recently reported over 60 percent probability of a rate hike as Jerome Powell’s Fed term ends. She also noted the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.56 percent in that context. In a separate update, Thomas described the latest FOMC minutes as the most hawkish since July 2023, with members open to further rate hikes if inflation persists.
