US Real Consumer Spending QoQ 2nd Est (Q4) Q/Q 2% vs. Exp. 2.4% (Prev. 3.5%)

What it means

The US real consumer spending for Q4 came in at 2%, falling short of the expected 2.4% and down from the previous print of 3.5%. This miss suggests a weakening consumer demand, which may influence economic growth forecasts and keep pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding future rate decisions.
