Consumer Confidence Nears Highs Since May’22, But Mixed Details

CANADA DATA
  • Bloomberg Nanos consumer confidence saw another solid increase last week, with the economic mood index rising 0.5pts to 53.1 for its highest since Jun 2 and before that May 2022.
  • Interestingly, gained were heavily led by six-month ahead views on real estate (jumping from 47.0 to 50.2% for increases) and to a much lesser extent only a limited bounce in backward-looking personal finances to remain off levels before the prior week’s decline.
  • On the flip side, current period job security weakened as it almost fully unwound the prior week’s improvement (falling from 52.3 to 51.8% for secure) and forward-looking views on the economy also fell to their lowest in at least a month (down from 13.8% to 13.6% for stronger).
  • For historical context, the index has recovered strongly off late 2022 lows but remains below the 55-60 range typically seen ahead of the pandemic.
