美国消费者情绪在11月暴跌至三年最低点, U.S. consumer sentiment plunged to a three-year low in November amid shutdown, inflation fears, and bleak job outlook.

美国消费者情绪在11月降到了3年最低点50.3, 接近2022年6月创纪录的低点, 根据密歇根大学的初步调查, 由长达一个月的政府停业、通胀担忧不断上升、对就业及个人财务的悲观情绪日益加深所驱动。 U.S. consumer sentiment fell to a three-year low of 50.3 in November, nearing the record low set in June 2022, according to the University of Michigan’s preliminary survey, driven by a month-long government shutdown, rising inflation concerns, and growing pessimism about jobs and personal finances. 与10月份相比,该指数下降了6%,近一半的受访者称高价格和收入下降是主要负担。 The index dropped 6% from October, with nearly half of respondents citing high prices and declining incomes as major burdens. 由于市场收益强劲,持有大量股票的美国人仍然乐观,但大多数美国人表示前景恶化,特别是在就业方面,预期有71%的人将失去工作。 While those with significant stock holdings remained optimistic due to strong market gains, most Americans expressed worsening outlooks, particularly on employment, with 71% expecting job losses. 由于停工,越来越依赖显示劳动力市场疲软的私人指标,官方经济数据(包括就业报告)仍然无法提供。 Official economic data, including the jobs report, remains unavailable due to the shutdown, increasing reliance on private indicators showing a weak labor market.
