ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence has risen by 2.2 per cent to 118.0 in the week ending 31 July 2016, with the improvement in confidence being broadly based. Increasing speculation of a rate cut at this week’s RBA meeting was likely a key driver of confidence. In addition, the buoyancy of the equity market – with the Australian share market recording its best July in six years – was also key in supporting household sentiment. Consumers’ views of their current finances rose by 6.8 per cent, and households’ views of the economic outlook in the next 12 months rose by 3.7 per cent.
