US consumer sentiment slipped about 5% in September from August, with declines broad-based across age, income, and education groups, though steadier among households with larger stock holdings. Both macroeconomic and personal expectations weakened, reflecting concerns over labor markets, business conditions, and personal finances, while frustration with persistent high prices hit a one-year high. Year-ahead inflation expectations eased slightly to 4.7%, but long-run expectations edged higher to 3.7%, continuing a recent upward drift.
