Personal income rose slightly in March and personal spending was unchanged, the Commerce Department report showed Friday.
Personal income increased 0.3% in March, matching the rate in February and personal spending was unchanged in the month after edging up a revised 0.1% in February.
The report also included a measure of consumer price inflation, that generally understates urban inflation, but preferred by policymakers at the Federal Reserve.
The personal consumption expenditure price index increased 0.1% from the previous month in March, easing from a 0.3% advance in February.
The PCE inflation was the smallest since July 2022 and core PCE, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.3% and matched the rate in the previous month.
The annual rate of consumer price growth eased to 4.2% in March from a revised 5.1% in February and annual core PCE rate slowed to 4.6% from 4.7% respectively.
