This weekly ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating is based on 1,033 face-to-face interviews conducted Australia-wide with men and women aged 14 and over the weekend November 25/26, 2017.
ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence eased 1.2% this week to 115.0. Confidence remains above its long term average of 112.9. Three out of five sub-indices posted falls, including both current and future economic conditions.
- Households’ views towards both current and future economic conditions slipped 3.4% and 3.3% respectively last week, after two weeks of solid gains. Views towards current economic conditions remain above their long term average.
- Household views toward the state of their current finances slipped for the fourth consecutive week (-2.3%). Even so, current conditions remain above their long term average. Encouragingly, their views towards future conditions rose 1.6% last week, following a 3.0% rise previously.
- Sentiment around the ‘time to buy a household item’ improved 0.5%, bringing this sub-index back to its long term average (133.8).
ANZ’s Head of Australian Economics, David Plank, commented:
“Despite last week’s fall, sentiment towards economic conditions has improved considerably since its low point in early September. Views around current conditions remain above their long-term average and overall economic conditions are at their highest point since February.
"This improvement is consistent with the results of our ANZ Stateometer, out last week, which showed a continued convergence across states towards accelerating performance, driven primarily by ongoing labour market strength. Additionally, leading indicators suggest scope for further improvement (at a more moderate pace) in labour market conditions, which will support confidence over the coming months.
"The recovery in sentiment around the ‘time to buy a household item’ index is also encouraging. A sustained improvement will likely bode well for holiday season sales.”
