US personal spending increased by $65.2 billion, or 0.3%, in June 2026 from the previous month, slowing from an upwardly revised 0.9% gain in May, largely due to a sharp decline in gasoline spending as lower crude oil prices followed peace negotiations between the US and Iran. Goods spending rose $7.0 billion, as a $48.1 billion drop in spending on gasoline and other energy goods was partly offset by higher outlays on motor vehicles and parts (up $17.4 billion) and recreational goods and vehicles (up $13.8 billion). Meanwhile, services spending increased $58.2 billion, driven by health care (up $22.8 billion), financial services and insurance (up $14.0 billion), transportation services (up $7.1 billion), and recreation services (up $6.7 billion). Meanwhile, inflation-adjusted consumer spending advanced 0.4% in June, the same pace as in the previous period. source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

United States Personal Spending
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is the primary measure of consumer spending on goods and services in the U.S. economy. 1 It accounts for about two-thirds of domestic final spending, and thus it is the primary engine that drives future economic growth. PCE shows how much of the income earned by households is being spent on current consumption as opposed to how much is being saved for future consumption. PCE also provides a comprehensive measure of types of goods and services that are purchased by households. Thus, for example, it shows the portion of spending that is accounted for by discretionary items, such as motor vehicles, or the adjustments that consumers make to changes in prices, such as a sharp run-up in gasoline prices.
