《美国数据》美国5月谘商会消费信心意外由逾一年高略降
美国谘商会数据显示,美国今年5月消费者信心指数终止连升三个月,由前值大幅下修後117.5仍为去年3月以来最高,回落至117.2,远低於市场预期119。期内,现况指数连升四个月,由前值大幅下修後131.9,续升至144.3为去年3月以来最高。预期指数急降至99.1,4月由初值续升至109.8,下修转为回落至107.9。
该机构经济指标高级主管Lynn Franco表示,美国消费信心在近几个月来大幅反弹後,5月信心有所回落。不过,消费者对现况评估继续改善,表明次季经济增长仍然强劲。然而,由於预期未来几个月增长放缓和劳动力市场状况疲软,消费者的短期乐观情绪有所下降。同时,消费者本月对收入前景也不太乐观,这可能反映了通胀预期提高和政府进一步支持减弱,直到7月开始向父母支付更多儿童税收抵免。总体而言,随着疫苗接种率上升,新冠病例进一步下降及经济全面开放,消费者仍然保持乐观,并且短期内信心应会保持弹性。
