Released on 2/23/2010 10:00:00 AM For Feb, 2010
Prior Consensus Consensus Range Actual
Consumer Confidence - Level 55.9 55.0 52.0 to 57.0 46.0
Market Consensus Before Announcement
The Conference Board's consumer confidence index edged forward in January to 55.9 from 53.6 in December. However, the assessment of the present situation remains near historic lows though it did improve noticeably, up nearly 5 points to 25.0. The assessment of the outlook has been far better than that of the present situation with the expectations index adding another 7 tenths to 76.5. Analysts are expecting a dip in the index for February based on early indications from such as the preliminary February consumer sentiment index and the ABC News Consumer Comfort Index.
Definition
The Conference Board compiles a survey of consumer attitudes on present economic conditions and expectations of future conditions. Five thousand consumers across the country are surveyed each month. While the level of consumer confidence is associated with consumer spending, the two do not move in tandem each and every month. Why Investors Care |
