The net worth of households rose by $3 trillion in the early part of this year, according to the Federal Reserve’s quarterly report on US financial accounts. The data also includes nonprofit organizations. Households saw the value of their stock holdings increase by $2.4 trillion. The S&P 500 rose and fell over the first quarter, but ultimately ended up around 7%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq jumped nearly 17%, its best quarterly gain since the end of 2020.

Household debt expanded at a 2.2% pace as growth in both mortgages and consumer credit slowed, the Federal Reserve report showed. That compares to a growth rate of 7.
