Covering Retail – How Are Consumers’ Spending Habits Changing in 2023

Consumer spending has remained relatively strong in the face of above average inflation and interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve. A tight labor market and rising wages have helped. However, the fourth quarter may include additional hurdles for consumers including the end of student loan forbearance, geopolitical turmoil resulting in higher gasoline costs and uncertainty going forward. What are the key trends and data points to keep an eye on this holiday season when covering consumers and retailers?
