Most recent graph: 

Wow, that looks like quite a change. In fact, pay close attention to the y coordinate.

The previous three months, each month: a savings rate of 4.1%.

The most recent month for which we have data, January, 2026: 4.5%.

If the y axis had been stretched from 0 to 10.0, the change might have been unnoticed. 

But the y axis is from about 4.0 to about 5.6, so the change was much more noticeable.
