- The combined Economic conditions subindex registered its fourth weekly decline and remains a significant drag on overall sentiment. Current economic conditions fell 4% to its lowest level since early 2017, while future economic conditions lost 3.8%.
- The ‘Time to buy a household item’ was down 3.3% last week compared to a gain of 5.1% previously.
- The four-week average for inflation expectations was stable at 4.1%, though weekly reading fell below 4% after five weeks of stability.
ANZ Head of Australian Economics, David Plank, commented:
“Consumer confidence lost ground last week as concerns about the economic outlook trumped a more positive assessment of personal finances. Uncertainty around global trade is likely a factor. At the same time, accommodative monetary policy and tax cuts are fuelling better financial conditions. The drop in weekly inflation expectations comes after a period of stability and ahead of the release of the Q3 CPI. We expect that report to confirm that inflation pressures remain subdued.”

Margin of Error

Margin of error gives indications of the likely range within which estimates would be 95% likely to fall, expressed as the number of percentage points above or below the actual estimate. Allowance for design effects (such as stratification and weighting) should be made as appropriate.
