Tracking Australian consumer confidence
August 19, 2026 Leave a comment
In July 2026, I was looking for extremes in pessimism in Westpac–Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index.
There wasn’t enough pessimism.
Today, this index rose.
It is not high enough to stifle the advance in Australian equities.
There is no hubris in Australian consumer sentiment………and so the dance with equities continues.
Allocators can stay long, for now.
