U.S. Households Added $2.35 Trillion in Wealth
The Federal Reserve reported that household wealth increased by $2.35
trillion or $20.000 per household in the first quarter of 2017. This rise is the
largest since 2004. The rise came from a 5.5 percent gain in the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index and house price appreciation.
Separately, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that consumption
expenditure increased by $56 billion
in the first quarter of 2017
