Research Summary and Editorial
In Q3 of 2026, the US is experiencing a decreasing savings rate, pressured by inflation that persists above 3% and is upward pressured by tariffs and the impacts of war on global petroleum supply.
US Savings Rate
While skewed toward upper income earners, this is still is a good indication of prosperity.
Watch out for the spikes seen during extreme conditions like during Covid-19.
The high number of lay-offs, high unemployment among low earners, and stimulus checks made this rate jump. The broader population was certainly NOT experiencing a period of extreme wealth and savings.
