Disposable income falls from +0.5% to -0.2% while wages fall from 0.4% to 0.1%.

Consumption is boosted from durables which rose to 0.6% from -1.4% in September. The savings rate fell to 4.8% from 5.2%.

A mixed bag with the difference between income and consumption changing. Spending picks up but could take a knock further on as incomes fall.
