US November prelim UMich consumer sentiment 60.4 vs 63.7 expected
Preliminary UMich consumer sentiment data for November 2023 • Prior was 63.8 • Current conditions 65.7 vs 69.5 expected (70.6 prior). • Expectations 56.9 vs 59.5 expected (66.0 prior). • 1-year inflation 4.4% vs 4.2% prior. • 5-10 year 3.2% vs 3.0% prior.

The 3.2% longer-term number is also just shy of the 2022 high of 2.3% and has accelerated rapidly from 2.7%.
