  • Consumer confidence slid 6.2% compared to May, manufacturing by 2.2%, services by 1.7% and retail by 2.3%. Construction sector confidence improved by 1.7%. Manufacturing, retail and services are the only indexes still within the optimistic range, the latter two accounting for the bulk of confidence in overall economic confidence.
  • Consumer confidence saw the largest decline and is currently at a record low of 63.4 points, substantially below the break-even of neutrality of 100. Both financial expectations and general economic outlooks remain the key downwards drivers.
