U.S. household net worth rose to $89.1 trillion in second quarter: Fed

by Lucas Jackson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The net worth of U.S. households increased in the second quarter as a rebound in stock market prices and further gains in real estate values bolstered wealth, a report by the Federal Reserve showed on Friday.

Household net worth increased to $89.1 trillion over the quarter, up from a slightly downwardly revised $88.0 trillion in the previous period.

The S&P 500 (.SPX) has rebounded since faltering from January through mid-February and reached an all-time high in mid August.

Household borrowing rose at a 4.4 percent annual rate, the report also showed, up from 2.7 percent growth in the first quarter of 2016.

Consumer spending has propelled economic growth this year as the nation nears what economists consider full employment. The housing market continues to strengthen too.

However, the U.S. central bank is seen keeping interest rates unchanged next week amid concern that inflation is mired at low levels.

Migrants are leaving Central America en masse to try to reach the United States before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.

Already alarmed by Trump’s tough campaign rhetoric and hard line on immigration, migrants in countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras are now being pushed by smugglers to fast-forward their plans to leave for the U.S.

These Two Indicators Will Tell You When 'Trump Trades' Are Over

Markets have yet to price in "the mother of all fiscal stimuluses," says BofA's David Woo.

by Luke Kawa

Trump and Republicans in Congress are poised "to unleash the mother of all fiscal stimuluses in the next two years," he said in a phone interview.

Woo also outlined the two indicators he's keeping an eye on to tell him when this new macro environment has been fully priced in: consensus growth forecasts and market-implied pace of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

How Americans Spent Their Money In The Last 75 Years (In 1 Simple Chart)

By Tyler Durden

Unsurprisingly, housing expenses have almost always been the largest area of spending in America for over 70 years.


Americans spent the most on clothing in 1961 for an average of $4,157. In every year measured since 1961, spending on clothing fell, even when accounting for inflation.


Spending on education has increased far more than any other category, jumping from $242 in 1941 to $1,236 in 2014. Education spending increased at a particularly fast rate between 1984 and 1994 and onward.

While spending on healthcare increased between 1941 and 2014, overall spending dipped between 1973 and 1984, but then began rising rapidly thereafter.
