Inflation-adjusted personal spending climbed 0.6% in August from a month earlier, for the biggest monthly jump since March 2025. The Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of underlying inflation, the personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy, rose a less-than-expected 0.2%. The prior month was also revised lower.
