ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence fell a sharp 4.0% to 113.7 in the week ended 6 August 2017, partially unwinding the gains over the previous two weeks. Although four out of five sub-indices posted declines, the fall in confidence was driven primarily by a sharp reversal of sentiment around economic conditions. Consumers’ views towards both current and future economic conditions eased considerably last week, largely unwinding the previous week’s gains. Sentiment around current and future conditions fell 10.7% and 7.3% respectively. In contrast, households’ views towards current financial conditions improved 2.8%, more than reversing the 1.2% fall in the previous week. Meanwhile, views towards future financial conditions fell 2.3%, its third consecutive fall.
