--5 Things We Learned From September Personal Income Data
By Kevin Kastner, Harrison Clarke, and Shikha Dave
WASHINGTON (MNI) - The following are the key points from the
September personal income, spending, and price data released Monday by
the Bureau of Economic Analysis:
- The data suggest inflation is well contained, with the year/year
rate for the core measure continuing its string of 2.0% gains and the
overall PCE price index falling to +2.0% y/y from +2.2% in August.
Personal income growth was below expectations, while nominal PCE and
month/month core prices were as-expected, so markets are likely to shrug
off the data.
- The core PCE price index rose 0.2% m/m (+0.153% unrounded, so
almost +0.1%), as expected, following a flat (+0.035%) reading in
August. The y/y rate stayed at 2.0% (+1.966% unrounded vs +1.960% in
August). The overall PCE price index was up 0.1% m/m for the fourth
straight month, compared with a 0.3% gain a year ago, allowing the y/y
rate to slow to 2.0% from 2.2% in August.
- Current dollar PCE was up 0.4%, right on expectations, with a
1.4% surge durable goods spending, likely on vehicles, driving much of
the increase. Nondurable goods spending and services spending were both
up 0.3% in the month. Real PCE was 0.3% after a 0.4% gain in August.
- Personal income was up only 0.2%, below the 0.4% gain expected,
with wages and salaries up only 0.2%. Additionally, proprietors' income
posted the first outright decline since April. Offsetting that weakness
were strong gains for rental income, receipts on assets, and current
transfer receipts.
- Personal taxes were up 0.3% after a 0.6% gain in August.
Disposable personal income was up 0.2% while real disposable income was
up 0.1%. The savings rate fell to 6.2% from 6.4% in August.
