Urgent.. The University of Michigan's revised report on consumer confidence and inflation indicators has been released.

The University of Michigan in the USA released today, Friday, the revised data for the Consumer Sentiment Index for the current month of November, which came in negative and below market expectations. The data also revealed a decline in American inflation expectations.

According to the data released today, the revised reading of the Consumer Sentiment Index recorded approximately 71.8 points for the current month of November, which is lower than market expectations that indicated the index would record around 74.0 points. The previous reading for October stood at 73.0 points.

This composite index is measured based on a survey conducted on consumers, where the University of Michigan surveys 500 households monthly regarding their financial conditions and outlooks for the economy in the short and long term. It is worth noting that consumer sentiment is directly related to an increase in consumer spending rates.

Additionally, the final reading for inflation expectations from the University of Michigan showed a decrease this month, recording 2.6%, which is lower than the previous inflation expectations reading of approximately 2.7% in October.

This index measures the percentage of consumers who expect changes in the prices of goods and services over the next twelve months. Inflation expectations reflect the actual conditions of inflation as these expectations can potentially materialize, primarily due to workers’ desire for wage increases, leading them to believe that prices will rise.
