In the first quarter of 2026, the annualized quarter-over-quarter growth rate of U.S. nominal Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) for services reached 4.1%, a significant rebound from 3.3% in the previous quarter. Although real GDP growth fell short of expectations, nominal services consumption remained strong, driven by inelastic demand in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and insurance. However, concerns over "stagflation-adjacent" conditions triggered by surging core PCE may suppress future consumption momentum.
