BREAKING: Michigan Consumer Sentiment rebounds from record low

The University of Michigan consumer sentiment for the US rose to 51.10 in July from record low of 50.0 in June, above market forecasts of 49.8, preliminary estimates showed. 

"Consumers remained in agreement over the deleterious effect of prices on their personal finances. The share of consumers blaming inflation for eroding their living standards continued its rise to 49%, matching the all-time high reached during the Great Recession. These negative views endured in the face of the recent moderation in gas prices at the pump", according to the University of Michigan.

  • 5 Year Inflation Expectations increased to 3.10% in June from 3% in May
