- 1 year inflation outlook 4.6% versus 3.6% at the end of March

The latest reading at the end of March was revised lower to 62 points from a preliminary 67. Investors should note that it was the first decline in sentiment in four months. Therefore, it can be assumed that households increasingly expect a recession ahead.
