Highlights
U.S. consumer confidence reached its lowest level in more than two years this month amid concerns over record-high oil prices, continued trouble in the housing market and higher inflation, according to the most recent results of the RBC CASH (Consumer Attitudes and Spending by Household) Index, which measured the attitudes of 1,005 Americans this week. Although consumer attitudes deteriorated across the board, the substantial drop in expectations contributed heavily to the sizeable decline in the overall index. As a result, the overall RBC CASH Index sank more than 16 points to 64. According to RBC the results point to the continuation of the overall year-long downward trend in economic confidence.
