March U.S. consumer spending posts largest rise since 2009
Commerce Department data show consumer spending rose 0.9 percent in March, the biggest jump since August 2009 and above economists’ 0.6 percent forecast. The rise reinforces signals of momentum as the economy ends a weak first quarter, though unemployment claims rose 14,000 to 344,000 amid seasonal distortions from holidays.
