The annualized quarter-over-quarter growth rate of nominal Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) on durable goods in the U.S. for the first quarter of 2026 surged to 6.7%, far exceeding the previous reading of 0.8%. Although overall real GDP growth fell short of market expectations, nominal durable goods data remained robust, driven by an inflation rebound and strong demand for recreational goods. However, persistently high prices are laying hidden concerns for the strength of subsequent real consumption.
