As Americans adjust their spending habits in a rapidly changing economy, they are building cash reserves at an unprecedented rate.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported on May 29th that the personal savings rate hit a historic 33% in April. To put that into perspective, it\u2019s the highest number since the Bureau started tracking personal savings in the 1960s.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Economists are struggling with the question, \u201cWhen will consumers be confident enough to start spending some of that cash stockpile?\u201d<\/p>\n

Optimists say the stockpile was due to \u201cforced savings.\u201d Staying home has led to less spending overall, on everything from clothes to commutes. As soon as restrictions loosen, that money could flow back into the economy.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, pessimists may say that until virus fears drop, and the unemployment rate improves, consumers will continue to conserve cash as a response to tremendous economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n
