Early November Look at Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations
Nov 8 · 1 min read
This month’s releases from the University of Michigan’s Surveys of Consumers programmes are advanced due to time out scheduled for the Thanksgiving holiday. I am publishing here equivalent data from my own private survey, which is informative about these numbers. I see a slight increase in consumer sentiment (to an index value of 95.1 from 94.9) and inflation expectations essentially unchanged at about 2.5% over the long term. It will be interesting to see how this “preliminary” take compares to their numbers.
