August sentiment fell across income and political groups, with expectations

weakening more than views of current conditions.

Economist

One-year ahead inflation expectations ticked higher in August, led by lower-

income households, reversing some of the improvement seen in recent months.

Long-run inflation expectations remained stable at 3.3%, supporting the view that

inflation expectations remain anchored.

Despite weak sentiment, consumer spending remains resilient, suggesting

sentiment and aggregate spending remain still largely de-linked.
