What is Consumer Confidence?
Consumer confidence indices summarise households' assessment of current economic conditions and expectations for the next six to twelve months. The Conference Board (US), University of Michigan (US), GfK (UK / Europe), Westpac-Melbourne Institute (AU), and ANZ-Roy Morgan (NZ) are the main published series.
Why it matters for FX
Consumer confidence is a leading indicator for consumer spending, which is the largest component of GDP. Sharp drops historically precede recessions and force central banks to ease, which weighs on the currency. The expectations sub-index is a particularly good lead on retail sales.
How to read this page
Track the level relative to its long-run mean and the direction over the past three to six months — single monthly prints are noisy. The expectations sub-index tends to lead the present-situation sub-index by several months.
What to watch for
- Expectations sub-index as the leading edge
- Inflation-expectations component (Michigan especially)
- Income-expectations vs spending-intention divergence
- Political-cycle distortions in survey responses
- Cross-check with retail sales for confirmation
