Weaker spending on seasonal ordsprog

en Weaker spending on seasonal goods has been building up for four months now. The two factors hurting consumers particularly at the low- and middle-income levels are that wages have not grown and gasoline prices could go even higher.

en High gasoline prices gradually eat away at income. The effect isn't felt all at once. We have seen consumers change their behavior in recent months and there should be further changes if prices stay at these levels.

en While we saw a pick-up in spending at the beginning of the year, that was just a one-off as consumers spent on sales and on seasonal goods. Given the softness we're seeing in spending in February, there isn't evidence that rising wages are feeding into consumption.

en The company's sales were affected by deflation in food prices, lower disposable income for consumers and higher consumer debt levels because of previous purchases of durable goods on credit.

en There appears to be a pause in consumer spending, especially with the low-to-middle income consumers. The slowing sales also counterbalance positive economic data that show rising income and confidence levels and oil prices coming down. As far as sales go, this is a period where the consumer is taking a break.

en Although employment levels remain high, particularly here in Florida, consumers are being squeezed by high energy prices and high levels of debt. Consumers are certainly beginning to curtail their spending in reaction to the rise in gasoline.

en Gasoline prices have begun their seasonal move higher. Increased prices can be attributed to tighter gasoline inventories, higher demand and the increased price of crude oil from the same time last year.

Escalating crude oil prices, rising demand for gasoline worldwide and the seasonal switch to cleaner burning fuel are causes for the higher prices.

en Although higher income and employment levels have offset the impact of rising gas prices on consumer confidence, there is a considerable degree of dread about future prospects among middle- and lower-income households.

en We are going to see the effect of higher energy prices trickle up to the middle-income consumers.

en The strong economy would normally have contributed to stronger growth in demand for goods and services such as gasoline, but higher retail prices spurred consumers to use fuel more efficiently.

en The consumer is jittery. Rising debt levels, inflation and higher gasoline prices are all real threats and a drag on spending.

en It's gasoline prices that have pulled up crude oil prices and it's gasoline prices here in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency has required, from June 1, the use of reformulated gasoline with special federal requirements, and refiners are having a difficult time bringing that gasoline to market, which is resulting in high gasoline prices for consumers.

en The consumer reaction to higher gas prices has been somewhat puzzling. There is no doubt that high gas prices cut into consumer income, but ... consumers are still spending and retail sales are growing more than expected,

en These losses may reflect the fact that consumers facing higher energy prices and falling real [inflation-adjusted] wages are cutting back on discretionary spending.
