In the third quarter of 2026 (Q3 2026), U.S. real disposable personal income per capita increased to 52,849, showing a slight expansion from the previous value of 52,669. Although stable employment and wage growth continue to support the consumption confidence of U.S. households, the rebound in PCE inflation and the drop in the savings rate to 3.0% indicate that household budgets are being squeezed. Looking ahead, price trends and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy will be the keys to determining whether real purchasing power can be sustained.
