Fed study: "What consumers have been saying differs from what they have been doing during the post-pandemic period."
"Consumers say they feel worse, but through the end of 2024, they are buying more—not just spending more—than they did in 2019."
"This disconnect between what consumers have been saying and doing suggests that consumer sentiment surveys on their own have become weaker indicators of future consumer behavior and of the health of US consumers."
"In contrast with much of the history of consumer sentiment measures since the 1960s but similar to the history of consumer sentiment during other inflationary episodes, consumer sentiment in 2024 was more closely related to concerns about higher prices than to concerns about lower income."
