Estados Unidos Gastos Pessoais

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) in the United States rose by 0.2% month-over-month in April 2025, slowing from a 0.7% increase in March and in line with market expectations, as the surge in spending ahead of import tariff hikes began to ease. Spending on services rose by 0.4%, down from 0.6% in March. Gains were driven by higher outlays on housing and utilities, health care, and food services and accommodations, though partially offset by declines in spending on nonprofit institutions and financial services and insurance. In contrast, goods spending declined by 0.1%, after a 1.0% surge the month before, reflecting weaker demand for durable goods such as motor vehicles and parts, clothing and footwear, and recreational goods and vehicles.
