By Greg Robb, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Apr 30, 2007

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. consumer spending was sluggish in March while inflation pressures eased, the Commerce Department estimated Monday.
Nominal spending rose 0.3% in March, marking the slowest pace since last October.
Real, adjusted for inflation, spending fell 0.2%, the weakest reading since September 2005.
Personal incomes increased 0.7% in March for the second straight month.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected consumer spending to rise 0.5% and for incomes to rise 0.6%.
The core personal consumption expenditure price index was flat in March, bringing the year-over-year increase down to 2.1% from 2.4% in February. Economists had expected a 0.1% gain in the core PCE.
The downward direction on inflation is sure to please Fed officials, but the level remains above the central bank's inflation ceiling of 2%.
Total inflation rose 0.4% in March and is up 2.4% over the past year.
In March, incomes from wages and salaries increased 0.7 %. Proprietors' income rose 0.2% after soaring 1.1% in February. Income from assets rose 1.1% for the third straight month.
Real spending on durable goods rose 0.1% in March. Spending on nondurable goods decreased 0.1%, while spending on services fell 0.3%.
Disposable incomes (after taxes) increased 0.7% in March. After adjusting for inflation, disposable incomes rose 0.2%. In the past year, real disposable incomes are up 2.9%.
With incomes rising faster than spending, the personal savings rate improved to negative 0.8% in March from negative 1.2% in February, showing that Americans continue to spend more than their disposable incomes.
