US Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment: Friday, 15:00. Consumer confidence declined in February to a three-month low of 95.7 from 98.5 in January, down from a 13-year high, amid milder expectations on finances and the economy. The results reflected clear differences between Republicans and Democrats following the election of Donald Trump as president. Republicans registered sentiment about 40 points higher than Democrats, according to the survey. The current conditions index inched down to 111.2 from a reading of 111.3 in the prior month. Future expectations six months from now decreased to a three-month low of 85.7 from 90.3. Consumer moral is expected to increase to 97.1 this time.
