American consumer confidence deflated in early April, as households grew more pessimistic about current conditions and the broader economic outlook, according to preliminary data from the University of Michigan.

The closely watched Consumer Sentiment Index receded to 47.6 from 53.3 in the previous month, missing economists’ expectations (52.0) and signalling some weaknening in public confidence.

Furthermore, the Current Conditions index edged lower to 50.1 from 55.8, while the Expectations gauge dropped to 46.1 from 51.7, highlighting a downbeat scenario for the months ahead.

Inflation expectations, meanwhile, are seen picking up pace: the one-year outlook rose to 4.8% (from 3.8%), and the five-year forecast increased a tad to 3.4% (from 3.2)%.

Market reaction

The US Dollar remains well offered, navigating the area of multi-week lows and sending the US Dollar Index (DXY) back to the 98.50 zone.
