On May 30, 2025, the White House highlighted robust economic performance in early 2025, as key indicators outpaced market expectations. Inflation dropped to 2.1% in April—below forecasts and near the Federal Reserve’s target—while personal income rose by 0.8%, nearly triple initial estimates. This marks the fourth consecutive month of strong income growth, signaling rising consumer purchasing power. Additionally, the U.S. trade deficit posted its largest monthly decline on record, reflecting significant shifts in global trade dynamics. The combination of easing inflation, surging incomes, and improved trade balance underscores strong economic fundamentals and growing investor confidence.

“WOW”: Inflation Eases,
Incomes Rise, Trade Deficit Plummets

“This is a GREAT four-month start to any year,” exclaimed CNBC’s Rick Santelli as brand new economic indicators show inflation is down, incomes are up, and the trade deficit is narrowing — shattering economists’ expectations once again.

• INFLATION IS DOWN: “Inflation rate slipped to 2.1% in April, lower than expected, Fed’s preferred gauge shows,” CNBC reports.
• INCOME IS UP: Personal income increased 0.8% in April — “almost TRIPLE the expectations.” “They’re powerful numbers — up 0.6% in January, up 0.7% in February, up 0.5% last month, up 0.8% this month. This is a GREAT four-month start to any year.”
  • CNBC: “The income numbers, really, for the first four months of year — they’re stellar … Why don’t we give credit where credit is due? Income really shooting up.”
• TRADE DEFICIT NARROWS: It was the largest monthly decline in the trade deficit on record.
  • CNBC: “We cut it in HALF!? … This really does underscore how the movement of goods and services has really changed due to a variety of tariff-related issues.”
