Forecast

95.3

93.8

The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index is composed of survey results comparing the relative level of both current and future economic conditions. There are two versions of this data released two weeks apart, preliminary and revised. The preliminary data tends to have a greater impact as it is more timely. The reading is compiled from a survey of around 500 consumers.

A reading that is stronger than forecast is generally supportive (bullish) for the USD, while a weaker than forecast reading is generally negative (bearish) for the USD.
