“Similarly, consumer confidence declined more than expected to 121.5 in June, with the drop being widespread as both the present situation and expectations components declined vs May. Despite this drop, consumer confidence remains at very solid levels, which should support private consumption in the near term (recall consumption is tracking close to 3% in Q2).”
