Highlights
The February RBC CASH Index reading was 103.0, compared to 95.3 in January and 96.1 one year ago. Consumer sentiment continued to heat up according to the most recent results of the RBC CASH (Consumer Attitudes and Spending by Household) Index, which measured the attitudes of 1,000 Americans earlier this week. Overall consumer confidence rose by nearly 8 points in February, as assessments of current conditions, investing and job security increased substantially. Although opinions regarding future conditions dipped significantly, overall optimism in all other areas surveyed outweighed increasing pessimism for the future.
