US - Consumer Sentiment
How does this affect the market?
A survey of consumer attitudes concerning both the present situation as well as expectations regarding economic conditions conducted by the University of Michigan. Five hundred consumers are surveyed each month. A preliminary survey is usually reported about the second Friday of the month while a more complete survey is reported two weeks later. The level of consumer sentiment is directly related to the strength of consumer spending.
The pattern in consumer attitudes and spending is often the foremost influence on stock and bond markets. For stocks, strong economic growth translates to healthy corporate profits and higher stock prices. For bonds, the focus is whether economic growth goes overboard and leads to inflation. Ideally, the economy walks that fine line between strong growth and excessive (inflationary) growth. This balance was achieved through much of the nineties. For this reason alone, investors in the stock and bond markets enjoyed huge gains during the bull market of the 1990s. Consumer sentiment did shift down in tandem with the equity market between 2000 and 2002. Consumer spending
accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy, so the markets are always dying to know what consumers are up to and how they might behave in the near future. The more confident consumers are about the economy and their own personal finances, the more likely they are to spend. With this in mind, it's easy to see how this index of consumer attitudes gives insight to the direction of the economy. Just note that changes in consumer sentiment and retail sales don't move in tandem month by month.
美國——消費者情緒
這是由美國麥葛根大學主持的一個大型調查，旨在調查消費者面對當前或未來經濟發展的因素而表現出的消費意向。
每次數據調查都以500人為基數，並在每月的第二個周五作出速報數字的公布，然後再隔兩周公布最終的結果；這一個調查結果，跟消費者的消費強度，有非常直接的關係——即是說，消費者情緒越高，當月消費部份的經濟表理通常都會較強勁。
US - Construction Spending
How does this affect the market?
The dollar value of new construction activity on residential, nonresidential, and public projects. Data are available in nominal and real (inflation-adjusted) dollars.
Construction spending has a direct bearing on stocks, bonds and commodities because it is a part of the economy that is affected by interest rates, business cash flow and even federal fiscal policy. In a more specific sense, trends in the construction data carry valuable clues for the stocks of home builders and large-scale construction contractors. Commodity prices such as lumber are also very sensitive to housing industry trends. Businesses only put money into the construction of new factories or offices when they are confident that demand is strong enough to justify the expansion. The same goes for individuals making the investment in a home. A portion of construction spending is related to government projects such as education buildings as well a highways and streets. Why investors are more concerned with private construction spending, the government projects put money in the hands of laborers who then have more money to spend on goods and services. That's why construction spending is a good indicator of the economy's momentum.
