🚨 πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US consumer confidence jumps to 91.7, far above 81.0 expected

  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ The Conference Board's consumer confidence index jumped to 91.7 in October, far above the 81.0 expected, from an upwardly revised 84.2 in September (first reported 81.9)
  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ New home sales ran at a 676,000 annual rate in September, above the roughly 650,000 expected, though slightly down on the month

FO view: A clear upside surprise: households are shrugging off oil above 100, which strengthens the case for higher US yields and a firm dollar and leaves less room for the Fed to sound dovish.

Not investment advice.
