The ANZ-Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence rating for Australia rose by 2.0 per cent to 113.6 in the week ended 14 February 2016. This follows a modest 0.2 per cent increase in the previous week and takes confidence back above its long-run average. The broad-based increase in confidence may suggest consumers are looking through the equity market weakness and shifting focus to domestic fundamentals. The sub-index on "finances compared to a year ago" has risen by 1.2 per cent, and consumers’ views on whether now is a good time to buy a major household item has risen by 2.9 per cent.
