Here’s a model of consumer sentiment that doesn’t suck

On the question of why Americans are so glum, the answer is still (mostly) the prices, stupid. But you have to know where to look

Paul Krugman asks: Why are Americans feeling so down about the economy? Despite decent objective data, consumer sentiment remains low, creating a "vibecession." He explores theories like high price levels, and suggests 2024 election misinformation may be a key factor.

G. Elliott Morris asks: Why are consumers so unhappy? It's not the news or unemployment, but the high price levels, proving that the cost of groceries and rent are key to economic feelings.

It's the prices, stupid

Consumer sentiment is at an all-time low because prices are at an all-time high. The UMich index isn't broken, popular government data just offer an incomplete picture of what people care about

"ROSENBERG: '.. consumer sentiment at its lowest level since the series began in November 1952! .. undercutting the lows of all the prior eleven recessions .. the 1970s oil shock,.. the Asian financial crisis .. the tech wreck and terrorist attacks of 2001, the GFC of 2008-2009 .. the 2020 pandemic.'”

"The gas price spike, in particular, is historic. We are talking about the largest monthly increase in gas prices since tracking it began in 1967. Nearly 60 years. Thanks, Donald. This is what happens when you let a con man with no grasp of geopolitics and no genuine interest in peace play war games on behalf of 330 million Americans."

"Remember when Trump claimed inflation was zero? Yeah. No. Year-over-year inflation hit 3.3% in March, the highest since May of last year. But the month-over-month number is what really should make your stomach drop: 0.9% in a single month. That is the biggest one-month jump since June 2022. Gas prices surged 21% in March. Fuel oil is up 31%. Airfares jumped 15%."

"The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index just dropped to 47.6 for April. During the height of COVID in March 2020, we never got anywhere near that low. During the 2008 financial crisis, the worst economic collapse in generations, we never saw numbers remotely close to this.

On top of that, the inflation numbers that came in this morning are brutal."
