Market Consensus Before Announcement
The Reuter's/University of Michigan's Consumer sentiment index in mid-July fell more than 6 points to 64.6. The expectations component index fell more than 8 points in July to 60.9. The current conditions index also fell, declining nearly 3 points to 70.4. Recent news on the economy has been a little better with equities rebounding and initial jobless claims coming down. But the recent jump in the unemployment rate may still be at the forefront of consumer worries.
Definition
The University of Michigan's Consumer Survey Center questions 500 households each month on their financial conditions and attitudes about the economy. Consumer sentiment is directly related to the strength of consumer spending. Consumer confidence and consumer sentiment are two ways of talking about consumer attitudes. Among economic reports, consumer sentiment refers to the Michigan survey while consumer confidence refers to The Conference Board's survey. |
