Although private consumption has been one of the most resilient elements of the US economy in the 1st quarter, its growth is still modest especially in the light of the various positive factors that have favored household income as rising wages, the psychological effect caused by low unemployment, reduced interest rates (to reduce the financial burden), the decline in fuel prices, etc. Thus, the weakness of the retail sector and doubts at the macroeconomic level have spread up to more cyclical sectors, with the exception of the oil sector.
