Consumer spending in the US was unchanged in April after an increase of 0

Economic growth in the United States for the 2nd quarter was revised downward today from an initial estimate of 2.4% to 1.6%. The main culprits to the lower growth estimate were lower inventories and a higher trade deficit than previously estimated. However, GDP was higher than analysts had expected. Personal consumption was revised higher to 2.0% in the 2nd quarter from an initial estimate of 1.6%. Core personal consumption expenditures (PCE), which excludes food and energy and is the Fed’s preferred measure of spending, was unchanged from the initial estimate of 1.1%. Gross private domestic fixed investment was also revised upward to 17.6% from an initial estimate of 17.0%. Exports were revised downward to 9.1% from an initial estimate of 10.3% and imports were revised upward to 32.4% from 28.8%, creating a higher trade deficit for the period.
