美国十一月消费者信心指数创七个月新高

According to BlockBeats, U.S. consumer confidence has surged to its highest level in seven months this November, driven by optimism about future economic and financial conditions. The preliminary reading of the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index rose to 73, surpassing the expected 71. The expectations index also climbed to 78.5, marking its highest point since mid-2021. This positive outlook reflects Americans' anticipation of slowing inflation, with consumers predicting a 2.6% increase in prices over the next year, the lowest since 2020.

不过，未来5至10年通胀预期已升至3.1%。这项于10月22日至11月4日进行的调查凸显出，消费者认为经济的未来取决于总统选举的结果。调查主任Joanne Hsu指出，下一届政府的经济政策可能会对通胀产生重大影响，成为消费者的主要担忧，并影响他们对经济表现的信心。个人财务预期指数已达到自3月份以来的最高水平，部分原因是个人财务状况有所改善。对长期商业状况的信心也跃升至近四年来的最高点。
