- Student loan payments: Student loan payments are scheduled to resume in October after being paused for nearly two years. This could put a strain on household budgets and lead to a decrease in consumer spending.
- Economic uncertainty: The global economy is facing several challenges, including the war in Ukraine and supply chain disruptions. This uncertainty could lead consumers to be more cautious about their spending.
