Personal spending in the US fell 0.6% mom in December of 2021, the first decrease in 9 months and in line with market expectations as the omicron variant started to spread across the country and holiday shopping was partially pushed to earlier months on expectations of shipping delays. Spending for goods declined, led by recreational goods and vehicles; other nondurable goods which include newspapers, household supplies, games and toys; and furnishings and durable household equipment. Spending for services increased, however, with the largest contribution coming from health care. source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis
