UMich Consumer Expectations Hit A Record (48 Year) Low
The weakness from the preliminary UMich data for November has been confirmed with the final sentiment print confirmed the so-called ‘K-shaped’ economy as sentiment slumps with stocks near record highs.
However, the small silver lining with today’s UMich data was an improvement intra-month from 50.3 to 51.0 for the headline (but still at its lowest since June 2022).
After the federal shutdown ended, UMich Director Joanne Hsu notes that sentiment lifted slightly from its mid-month reading.
However, consumers remain frustrated about the persistence of high prices and weakening incomes.

On the bright side, inflation expectations tumbled. After four months of sharp increases to start 2025, long-run expectations fell for three consecutive months through July, followed by three more months of small increases. Long-run expectations softened considerably this month. The November reading is well below peaks in monthly readings from June 2022 and April 2025, but still above 2024 readings.

By the end of the month, sentiment for consumers with the largest stock holdings lost the gains seen at the preliminary reading.
This group’s sentiment dropped about 2 index points from October, likely a consequence of the stock market declines seen over the past two weeks.
