US PERSONAL INCOME AND OUTLAY, JULY 2015

US personal income grew by 0.4 per cent (seasonally adjusted) in July, marking four consecutive months of growth at this pace.  US consumer expenditures increased by 0.3 per cent in July, the sixth consecutive month of growth.  In the last two months, personal income has risen faster than consumer spending (and other dispositions of personal income), leading to a slight increase in the US personal savings rate to 4.9 per cent of disposable personal income.
