Economic Outlook and Consumer Behavior
The current U.S. economy showcases surprising strength, attributed to consumers having substantial cash reserves, which they are now using for discretionary spending. This includes increased demand for services, such as dining out and vacations, after the initial surge in goods purchases following the pandemic.
