Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, points to the persistence of the K-shaped economy in the United States. Zandi highlights updated estimates of personal outlays by income group for 2026q1, based on data from the Federal Reserve’s Financial Accounts and Survey of Consumer Finance.

Zandi has recently commented on major market events beyond the consumer sector.
