In den USA sind die Konsumenten nach dem heute veröffentlichten Consumer Confidence Index weniger zuversichtlich gestimmt:
Consumer confidence sank in November due to high gas and home-heating bills, according to the Conference Board’s monthly report that showed a headline dip to 87.3 in November from October’s already soft 95.2. Perhaps the biggest headline is a giant 6 tenth jump in 12-month inflation expectations to 5.7 percent. High gas prices may now be affecting consumer psychology in what is no doubt a major concern for Federal Reserve policy makers.
Am deutlichsten gefallen sind die Konsumentenerwartungen (für die nächsten 6 Monate):
“Consumers’ apprehension about the short-term outlook is being fueled by volatility in financial markets, rising prices at the [gasoline] pump and the likelihood of larger home heating bills this winter,” said Lynn Franco, Director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center.
