Die Einschätzung der aktuellen Lage liegt bei 65,3 (Vormonat war 59,7)
Die Konsumentenerwartung liegt bei 56,2 (Vormonat war 58,0)
Inflationserwartungen:
1 Jahr: 5,1% (Vormonat war 5,7%)
5 Jahre: 2,9% (Vormonat war 2,7%)
Dazu Joanne Hsu, die die Umfrage verantwortet:
Consumer sentiment is essentially unchanged at 1.2 index points above September, in spite of a 23% improvement in current buying conditions for durables owing to an easing in supply constraints. Sentiment is now 9.8 points above the all-time low reached in June, but this improvement remains tentative, as the expectations index declined by 3% from last month. Continued uncertainty over the future trajectory of prices, economies, and financial markets around the world indicate a bumpy road ahead for consumers.
The median expected year-ahead inflation rate rose to 5.1%, with increases reported across age, income, and education. Last month, long run inflation expectations fell below the narrow 2.9-3.1% range for the first time since July 2021, but since then expectations have returned to that range at 2.9%. After 3 months of expecting minimal increases in gas prices in the year ahead, both short and longer run expectations rebounded in October.
