BofA total card spending (w/e Feb 14th) +4.4% Y/Y (prev. +2.6% Y/Y); spending around Valentine's Day and President's Day weekend was robust relative to last year.

The Bank of America's report showing total card spending up 4.4% year-over-year indicates a strong acceleration from the previous 2.6% growth, likely driven by increased consumer activity around Valentine's Day and President's Day weekend. This suggests a positive trend in consumer sentiment and spending, which could imply continued robust economic growth and may influence monetary policy considerations moving forward.
