Forecasting and Tracking Macroeconomic Consumer Spending with Transaction Data

 

Consumer spending is off to a rocky start in 2025, with trade policy uncertainties driving record-low sentiment. Some categories are already feeling the pain, while others appear to be more resilient as consumers trade-down and adjust spending habits. Using Earnest’s Vela Gamma dataset, this report explores:

  • Is consumer spending slowing? If so, which categories are most impacted?
  • How are ticket sizes evolving with inflation fears returning?
  • What states are seeing the fastest and slowest spending growth trends?
  • How can Earnest data be used to predict government reported retail metrics?
