Notably in February, Americans reduced spending on services for the first time in three years in the face of higher prices — including on dining out.
“Consumers are resistant to price increases,” Neil Dutta, head of US economics at Renaissance Macro, said in a note. “Ultimately, inflation boils down to a household’s budget constraint and conditions are deteriorating here.”
