U.S. spending, incomes rise in Jan, savings fall
WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer spending rose faster than incomes in January, bringing the personal savings rate to its lowest level on record, the government said on Thursday.

Spending rose 0.7 percent to $6.96 trillion following a 0.4 percent gain in December. Incomes increased 0.6 percent to $8.5 trillion in January after posting a 0.4 percent increase in the previous month, the Commerce Department said.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a 0.7 percent gain in spending and a 0.4 percent rise in income in January.

The personal savings rate in January fell to a negative 1.0 percent, the lowest rate on record. That was down from a negative 0.8 percent in December.
