U.S. consumer sentiment index increases more than forecast in early October
A report from
the University of Michigan revealed on Friday the preliminary reading for the
Reuters/Michigan index of consumer sentiment increased 1.0 percent m-o-m to 81.2
in early October. This was the highest reading since March.
Economists had
expected the index would edge up to 80.5 this month from September’s final
reading of 80.4.
According to
the report, the index of current U.S. economic conditions dropped 3.3 percent
m-o-m to 84.9 in October from 87.8 in the previous month. Meanwhile, the index
of consumer expectations climbed 4.2 percent m-o-m to 78.8 this month from 75.6
in September.
“Slowing employment
growth, the resurgence in covid-19 infections, and the absence of additional
federal relief payments prompted consumers to become more concerned about the
current economic conditions”, noted Surveys of Consumers chief economist, Richard
Curtin. “Those concerns were largely offset by continued small gains in
economic prospects for the year ahead,” he added.
