The latest US personal income for the second quarter of 2026 (Q2 2026) dropped to $26.72 trillion, down approximately $122 billion from the previous value of $26.84 trillion, falling short of the market's original expectation of monthly growth. Although private wages and compensation of employees maintained a moderate increase, the overall data declined, dragged down by a sharp plunge in farmers' income caused by the end of the "Farmer Bridge Assistance Program". Over the next 1 to 6 months, close attention must be paid to the dual squeeze of high inflation and an ultra-low savings rate on real disposable income, to prevent consumption momentum from stalling.
