Consumer confidence
tumbles as housing market reverses - BNN Bloomberg.pdf
Summary:
Canadian consumer confidence recorded its sharpest weekly decline since the depths of the
pandemic, with inflation and a deteriorating outlook for housing weighing on sentiment.
The Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Confidence Index, a measure of sentiment based on weekly
polling, dropped to 54.3 last week, the lowest reading since December 2020. The 1.8-point
decline is the largest one-week slump in the index since April 2020.
The numbers suggest the combination of rising prices, higher rates and the war in Ukraine is
starting to weigh on consumers.
