consumer spending
The sources portray consumer spending as currently supported by elevated housing wealth, financial-market gains and a lower savings rate, but potentially vulnerable. Bob Elliott linked spending support to high housing prices despite weak fundamentals 1, while David Rosenberg argued that income, employment and fading fiscal support point to a much weaker consumer outlook 3. Jim Wiederhold offered a more supportive wealth-effect view, saying rising precious-metals allocations can increase spending power and economic activity 2.

Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
