The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index dropped to 51 in August from 55.2 in July, missing expectations and ending two months of gains. The decline was driven largely by Republicans, whose optimism fell 19% below pre-Iran conflict levels to the lowest since the 2024 election. This drop reflects growing pessimism amid rising oil prices and inflation concerns following the Middle East conflict. Retail sales also fell 0.6% in July, signaling consumer fatigue and cautious spending ahead, which may influence Federal Reserve policy on interest rates.
