US consumer sentiment dropped to a record low of 44.8 in May, down from 48.2 and well below April's 49.8, according to the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers. The decline is driven by concerns over rising prices due to the US-Iran conflict and higher oil prices caused by supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Inflation expectations increased to 4.8% for the year ahead and 3.9% for the longer term, reflecting growing worries that inflation will spread beyond fuel costs. This signals heightened consumer anxiety about the economic outlook and potential inflation pressures.
