Consensus: ! Oct Sep ! Income: +0.5% ! Income +0.4% +0.5% ! Actual: ! Expenditures +0.2% -0.2%r ! +0.4% ! ======================================================= By Jeff Bater Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Personal income grew a bit slower during October, yet still outpaced a modest increase in consumer spending, while inflation gauges held steady. Personal income advanced at a seasonally adjusted rate of 0.4%, after increasing an unrevised 0.5% in September, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Personal spending grew 0.2%, after falling a revised 0.2% in September. Originally, the government said spending grew by 0.1% in September. The median estimates of 21 economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires were a 0.5% climb in personal income during October and a 0.1% increase in consumer spending. A price index for personal consumption expenditures - or PCE - excluding food and energy increased by 0.2% in October compared with a month earlier. It grew 0.2% in September. Compared with a year earlier, the core PCE price index rose 2.4% last month. It went up 2.4% in September. The Federal Reserve's comfort zone is 1.0% to 2.0% for the inflation gauge. At their last policy meeting, bankers decided to leave interest rates alone, citing a slowing economy and a likelihood inflationary pressures will moderate over time. While the economy weakened in the third quarter from the second quarter - 2.2% vs 2.6%, its big engine, consumer spending, actually got stronger, recent data show; it is housing that is a heavy drag on growth these days. Thursday's report said spending on durable goods, designed to last three years or longer, grew 0.2% in October, after a 0.1% rise in September. Non-durable goods spending decreased 0.6% in October after a 1.5% drop the previous month. September spending on services rose 0.6%. A large component of personal income, wages and salaries, increased by 0.6% last month. After-tax income, also known as disposable personal income, expanded 0.3% in October, after increasing 0.5% during September. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was negative 0.6% last month, marking the 19th straight month that this measure of savings has been in the red. |
