Lost swagger: Consumer Confidence dips to 16-month low
|Summary
Consumer confidence fell to 98.7 in June. It is a far cry from the 128.9 reading exactly a year ago in June 2021. We do not expect the lost swagger will forestall a surge in services spending this summer, but we are increasingly concerned that a contraction in consumer spending is inevitable this autumn.
