This decline was driven by a drop in the Index of Consumer Expectations, despite a small increase in the Current Economic Conditions Index.

Consumer sentiment confirmed its early-month reading, rising for the fifth consecutive month and reaching its highest value since April 2024, at 74.0. Buying conditions exhibited a particularly strong 32% improvement, primarily due to a surge in consumers expecting future price increases for large purchases. The expectations index continued the post-election re-calibration that began last month, climbing for Republicans and declining for Democrats in December. Importantly, for Independents, expectations were essentially unchanged from the past month or so for personal finances, short-run business conditions, and long-run business conditions. Broadly speaking, consumers believe that the economy has improved considerably as inflation has slowed, but they do not feel that they are thriving; sentiment is currently about midway between the all-time low reached in June 2022 and pre-pandemic readings.

The tentative slowdown in inflation last month has not, as of yet, translated to sustained improvements in how consumers feel about their financial situations, Hsu said. About 42 percent of consumers cited high prices eroding their living standards, down from a peak of 49 percent in July but more than double the 18-percent reading from a year ago.

However, only 18 percent of consumers expect their income growth to exceed inflation. The share of consumers expecting unemployment to rise in the year ahead fell from 38 percent last month to 34 percent, but up from 24 percent a year ago.

U.S. consumer sentiment ticked further up in August from a record low earlier this summer, and American households' near-term outlook for inflation eased again on the back of tumbling gasoline prices, a survey released on Friday showed. The University of Michigan's preliminary August reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment came in at 55.1, up from 51.5 in the prior month. It had hit a record low of 50 in June. The preliminary August reading was above the median forecast of 52.5 among economists polled by Reuters.

Consumer Sentiment was 51.5 in July 2022, according to the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index. July’s figure was 1.5 points higher than the historically low June reading and is 29.7 points below the July 2021 index. The Current Economic Conditions Index rose 4.3 points from the previous month to 58.1 and is 26.4 points below the July 2021 index. The Consumer Expectations Index decreased 0.2 points to 47.3 and is 31.7 points lower from a year ago. The final July reading showed little change in consumer sentiment from its historic low in June. The one-year economic outlook fell to its lowest reading since 2009. At the same time, concerns over global factors have eased somewhat. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index, increased slightly to 51.5 and it was expected to hold at 51.1 in final July, thus, unchanged from a preliminary reading. The Michigan consumer sentiment index fell to 50 in June from 58.4 in May as consumer confidence eroded owing to high inflation, mainly impacted by gasoline prices.

US consumer sentiment hit a new record low in June amid growing concerns about inflation, according to a closely followed University of Michigan survey released Friday. The final index reading of 50 in the monthly Surveys of Consumers was just below the preliminary reading of 50.2 released two weeks ago. The final June index – a 14.4% drop since May – represents the lowest recorded level since the university started collecting consumer sentiment data in November 1952. “Consumers across income, age, education, geographic region, political affiliation, stockholding and homeownership status all posted large declines,” said Joanna Hsu, Surveys of Consumers director, in a statement. “About 79% of consumers expected bad times in the year ahead for business conditions, the highest since 2009.”

Consumer sentiment plunges to record low in June, according to University of Michigan survey. The University of Michigan’s gauge of consumer sentiment fell sharply to a record-low reading of 50.2, down from a May reading of 58.4. Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had expected an June reading of 59. The level is comparable to the low point reached in the middle of the 1980 recession, the university said. Americans’ expectations for overall inflation over the next year rose to 5.4% in June from 3.3% in May, while expectations for inflation over the next five years jumped to 3.3% from 3% in the prior month. That’s the highest level since 2008, according to Kathy Jones, strategist at Charles Schwab. According to the Michigan report, a gauge of consumers’ views on current conditions tumbled to 55.4 in June from 63.3 in the prior month, while a barometer of expectations fell to 46.8 from 55.2.

U.S. consumer sentiment slumped to its lowest level in nearly 11 years in early May as worries about inflation persisted, but household spending remains underpinned by a strong labor market and massive savings, which should keep the economy expanding. The University of Michigan's survey on Friday showed the deterioration in sentiment, which some economists said pushed it into recessionary territory, was across all demographics, as well as geographical and political affiliation. Gasoline prices and the stock market have a heavy weighting in the survey. The University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment index tumbled 9.4% to 59.1 early this month, the lowest reading since August 2011. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the index dipping to 64. The sharp decline is in stark contrast with the Conference Board's consumer confidence survey, whose index remains well above the COVID-19 pandemic lows.

Consumer Sentiment Rebounds in Early April 2022. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (MCSI) opened April 2022 at 65.7, up by 10.6% from late March, according to preliminary results released on April 14, 2022. The Final relaesed was down to 65.2. Key drivers were a leap of 29.4% in the year-ahead outlook for the economy and a 17.2% jump in personal financial expectations. However, the MSCI remained below January's reading and lower than in any prior month in the past decade. The preliminary value of 65.7 for April 2022 puts the MCSI 25.6% below its final reading of 88.3 in April 2021.The MCSI report indicates that the most surprising change among respondents was that they anticipated a year-ahead increase in gas prices of just 0.4 cents in April, versus their view in March that the increase would be 49.6 cents. Retail gas prices have fallen since a peak in March, and that fact appears to have been recognized by consumers.

The figure exceeded all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists, which had a median forecast of 59.

US consumer sentiment fell again amid rising rates, war and inflation. Consumer sentiment slumped again in March 2022, hitting its lowest level since August 2011, the University of Michigan reported Friday. High inflation, volatile oil prices, geopolitical unrest and now rising interest rates, have left consumers with a bitter taste about the state of the US economy. The March 2022 index was revised down to 59.4 from a preliminary reading of 59.7 released two weeks ago, when rising prices and the Russia-Ukraine conflict were already spurring unease among consumers. In March 2021, the consumer sentiment index was 84.9. Consumers are battling the highest inflation since 1982 and with it, a barrage of rising costs: Mortgage rates increased again this week, bringing the traditional 30-year fixed rate to 4.42%, adding an average of $300 a month for homebuyers. Gas prices are still at record highs in parts of the country, and the latest Consumer Price Index showed most essential goods are up by 7.9% year on year.

U.S. consumer sentiment near 11-year low; near-term inflation worries mount. U.S. consumer sentiment fell more than expected in early March as gasoline prices surged to a record high in the aftermath of Russia's war against Ukraine, boosting one-year inflation expectations to the highest level since 1981. The third straight monthly decline reported by the University of Michigan on Friday pushed consumer sentiment to its lowest level in nearly 11 years. It said 24% of respondents "spontaneously mentioned the Ukraine invasion in response to questions about the economic outlook." The University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment index dropped to 59.7 in the first half of this month, the lowest reading since September 2011, from a final reading of 62.8 in February 2021. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the index falling to 61.4.

Consumer sentiment has plummeted this month, falling to its lowest level in decade and dropping significantly in only a matter of days, early numbers from the University of Michigan show. The data from the university’s consumer sentiment survey—Friday’s 61.7 reading for February was a preliminary number—is designed to capture the mood of American shoppers and offer information about their near-term spending plans. February’s number is a 19.7% decrease from a year ago and an 8.2% decline from January’s 67.2. Economists surveyed by FactSet expected February’s number to be 67.5. Decreases over several months have come as consumers become more anxious about rising inflation and a slumping stock market, and show less faith in Washington’s economic policies. The lack of confidence signals the onset of a sustained downturn in spending.

The University of Michigan's sentiment index fell to 67.2 in January, the lowest since November 2011. The Omicron surge and still-elevated inflation fueled most of the drop, the survey's chief economist said. Even the Fed's fight with inflation can weaken sentiment if people misinterpret rate hikes, he added.

How to interpret Consumer Credit?

Credit growth is a positive sign for the recovery in that it signals increasing demand and willingness to spend. Increasing borrowing could signal a drop in unemployment that gives households the courage to take advantage of holiday discounts, buy cars and finance higher education.

At the same time, dependence on credit means the job market has yet to improve enough to provide the incomes needed to sustain consumer purchases, which account for about 70% of the economy.

Rising Credit can be a sign people are more comfortable with the economy or an indication they are forced to finance essential purchases, such as food and gasoline.

More borrowing is generally viewed as a healthy sign for the economy. It suggests consumers are gaining confidence and growing more comfortable taking on debt.

But it can also indicate that Americans are relying on credit cards to pay for everyday expenses. Wage gains are just barely keeping pace with inflation and unemployment is still high.

Economy doing poorly

When the economy is not doing well, that is when you want the consumer to spend, and if it means borrowing to do that, then that certainly would be encouraged. A pickup in borrowing coincides with a slowdown in hiring and declines in consumer confidence that indicate the job market is failing to spur enough gains in wages to cover expenses.

Gains in credit may also indicate that banks are more willing to lend, representing a thawing that may bolster spending.It is indicative of credit channels finally being slowly unclogged. So this is certainly good news for an economy recovery.
