Mike Shedlock: Consumer sentiment current conditions index falls to record low
Consumer sentiment index sets record low

Mike Shedlock, author / blogger at MishTalk, reports that the consumer sentiment current conditions index has dropped to a record low.

He points out that, by political affiliation, independents have experienced the largest declines in sentiment compared to other groups.

Shedlock recently noted a 0.4% rise in the August consumer price index, suggesting a possible interest rate increase by the Fed in September in his article on U.S. inflation data. In a separate piece, he warned that France's escalating budget deficit is fueling a significant debt crisis and civil unrest across the EU, as detailed in his coverage of the French situation. These reports highlight Shedlock’s ongoing focus on economic indicators and financial stability.
