The WESTPAC Consumer Confidence Index is a widely recognized financial indicator that measures the level of optimism or pessimism among consumers in Australia. It is based on a survey of consumer attitudes towards current economic conditions, future expectations, and purchasing intentions. This index provides valuable insights into consumer spending patterns and can be used by businesses and investors to gauge the overall health of the economy and make informed decisions. With its long history and strong track record, the WESTPAC Consumer Confidence Index is a trusted tool for assessing consumer sentiment and predicting future economic trends.
Sentiment surveys are forward-looking inputs that often lead hard data on output and hiring. Sharp swings can drive cross-asset repricing. Surprises against consensus typically move rates and currencies on release. Released monthly.
This indicator correlates most strongly with S&P 500 (Bullish Stocks, r=0.50) — a useful reference for index-focused traders.
