SUMMARY:US Consumer Confidence August 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next US Consumer Confidence: Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 at 10:00 am ET (3:00 pm London). \nDate to be confirmed by the publisher; this is the scheduled date. \n\nConsensus\nNot yet published\nActual\nPending\n\nFull schedule and background: US Consumer Confidence. \nUpdated August 25\, 2026 \n\nUS Consumer Confidence for August 2026 is expected on Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 at 10:00am ET (3:00pm London)\, published by The Conference Board. The report covers survey responses gathered during August 2026 and measures how optimistic or pessimistic American households feel about the economy\, jobs and their own finances. Full schedule and background: US Consumer Confidence. \nThe Conference Board has not yet confirmed the exact August 2026 release date at the time of writing. The organisation typically publishes the Consumer Confidence Index on the last Tuesday of every month\, and August 25\, 2026 fits that pattern\, but readers should check the Conference Board’s official calendar closer to the date for confirmation. \nWhat is the Consumer Confidence Index?\nThe Consumer Confidence Index is a monthly survey of around 3\,000 US households\, run for The Conference Board\, asking people how they view current business and labour market conditions and how they expect things to look six months ahead. The headline number is an index\, not a percentage\, benchmarked to a value of 100 in 1985\, so a reading of 90 means confidence sits below its long-run 1985 baseline rather than meaning “90 out of 100”. \nThe index splits into two parts that economists watch separately. The Present Situation Index reflects how people rate current business conditions and how easy or hard it is to find a job right now. The Expectations Index reflects what households think will happen to their income\, business conditions and the jobs market over the next six months. The Conference Board has said that when the Expectations Index falls below 80\, it has historically signalled a heightened risk of recession. \nMarkets watch this release because consumer spending drives roughly two-thirds of US economic output. A sharp drop in confidence can be an early warning that households are about to pull back on spending\, which feeds into growth forecasts\, corporate earnings and\, indirectly\, decisions at the Federal Reserve. It is a sentiment survey rather than a hard spending number\, so it is watched alongside actual retail sales and jobs data rather than in isolation. \nWhen is the August Consumer Confidence Index released?\nThe report is scheduled for August 25\, 2026 at 10:00am ET (3:00pm London time)\, released by The Conference Board on its own website and distributed simultaneously through newswires. As noted above\, this date has not been formally confirmed by the publisher and is based on the Conference Board’s usual practice of releasing the index on the last Tuesday of the month\, as it did with the June 30\, 2026 and July 28\, 2026 reports. \nWhat is the consensus forecast?\nA consensus forecast for the August 2026 reading has not yet been published. Economist surveys for this release are typically compiled by data providers such as Bloomberg and Reuters in the days immediately before the report\, so a specific number is unlikely to appear until closer to August 25\, 2026. \nThe most recent published reading is 90.8 for July 2026\, down 1.4 points from an upwardly revised 92.2 in June\, according to The Conference Board. That July figure came in below the roughly 92.3 to 92.4 consensus that economists had pencilled in\, according to Advisor Perspectives. \n\n\n\nMeasure\nPrior (July 2026)\nConsensus (August 2026)\n\n\n\n\nHeadline Consumer Confidence Index\n90.8\nNot yet published\n\n\nPresent Situation Index\n114.9\nNot yet published\n\n\nExpectations Index\n74.7\nNot yet published\n\n\n\nWhat the result could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nWhat it means in plain English\n\n\n\n\nAbove consensus\nCould ease concerns about a consumer-led slowdown and support the view that the labour market is holding up\, though analysts note one month rarely shifts Federal Reserve policy on its own\nHouseholds feel more comfortable about jobs and spending than expected\, which may support retail and travel-related shares\n\n\nIn line with consensus\nLikely to have limited market impact\, with attention shifting quickly to the Present Situation and Expectations components underneath the headline number\nConfidence is roughly where economists expected\, so no major change to the economic outlook\n\n\nBelow consensus\nCould reinforce the “downward sloping trajectory” that Conference Board chief economist Dana Peterson has described in recent releases\, and may fuel debate about slowing consumer spending\nHouseholds are feeling more nervous than expected\, often about jobs or prices\, which can be an early sign of weaker spending ahead\n\n\n\nThese are possible reactions described by commentators\, not predictions\, and actual market moves depend on other data released the same week. \nWhy does this release matter right now?\nConfidence has been on what Conference Board chief economist Dana Peterson called “a general downward sloping trajectory since late 2021\,” according to the Conference Board’s July 2026 release. The Present Situation Index fell for a third consecutive month in July 2026\, dropping to its lowest level since February 2021\, while the Expectations Index has stayed below the Conference Board’s recession-warning threshold of 80 since February 2025. \nThe labour market has been a particular focus. The Conference Board’s “labour market differential”\, which tracks the share of consumers saying jobs are plentiful minus those saying jobs are hard to get\, fell to its lowest level since February 2021 in July\, according to the same release. Inflation expectations have eased slightly over recent months\, which analysts have flagged as one of the few more encouraging threads in an otherwise softening survey. \nBecause the Federal Reserve watches household sentiment as one input into its view of consumer spending and the labour market\, a further deterioration in the Expectations Index could add to the case some policymakers make for interest rate cuts\, while a stabilisation could support those who prefer to hold rates steady. The report also matters outside the US: American consumer spending trends affect demand for goods made in Asia and Europe\, and shifts in the dollar tied to Fed rate expectations feed through to the pound and euro. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\n\nMortgages and borrowing rates: a weaker than expected reading can add to expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates\, which tends to pull US mortgage rates and other borrowing costs lower over time\, with knock-on effects on global bond yields that also influence UK and European mortgage pricing.\nSavings: if the report feeds expectations of Fed rate cuts\, savers holding cash in US dollar accounts or money market funds could eventually see lower returns on new deposits\, though existing fixed-rate savings are unaffected.\nJobs and wages: the survey’s labour market components are watched by employers and workers alike\, since a sustained drop in how “plentiful” people think jobs are has historically coincided with slower hiring.\nPrices: the inflation expectations captured in the survey matter because if households expect prices to keep rising\, they may demand higher wages or bring forward purchases\, which can itself add to inflation pressure.\nInvestments\, pensions and currencies: a sharp move in confidence can ripple through US equity markets\, and because pension funds worldwide hold significant US assets\, this can affect pension valuations in the UK and Europe. Shifts in confidence also feed into dollar strength or weakness\, affecting the pound and euro exchange rates for anyone travelling\, importing or exporting.\n\nRelated events\n\nUniversity of Michigan Consumer Sentiment\, a separate monthly US sentiment survey often watched alongside this one for comparison.\nUS non-farm payrolls and jobless claims\, which provide the hard labour market data behind the survey’s sentiment.\nThe next Federal Reserve interest rate decision\, which weighs consumer confidence data alongside inflation and employment figures.\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat time is the August 2026 Consumer Confidence report released?\nIt is scheduled for 10:00am ET\, which is 3:00pm in London\, on August 25\, 2026\, though the Conference Board had not formally confirmed this date at the time of writing. \nHow should I read the Consumer Confidence Index?\nLook beyond the headline number to the Present Situation and Expectations components\, since the Conference Board and economists often draw different conclusions depending on which part is driving the move. \nHow does this data affect interest rates?\nIt is one of several data points the Federal Reserve considers when assessing the strength of consumer spending and the labour market\, so a run of weak readings can add to the case for lower interest rates\, though it rarely moves policy on its own. \nWhere can I find the official release?\nThe Conference Board publishes the report directly on its Consumer Confidence topic page\, with the data also distributed via newswire on release day. \nWhen is the next Consumer Confidence report after this one?\nThe Conference Board typically releases the index on the last Tuesday of each month\, so the following report would be expected in late September 2026\, subject to official confirmation.

SUMMARY:US New Home Sales August 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next US New Home Sales: Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 at 10:00 am ET (3:00 pm London). Covers July 2026 data. \n\nConsensus\nNot yet published\nActual\nPending\n\nFull schedule and background: US New Home Sales. \nUpdated August 25\, 2026 \n\nUS New Home Sales for July 2026 is scheduled for release on Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 at 10:00 am ET (3:00 pm London time) by the US Census Bureau\, jointly with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The report covers new single-family home sales activity during July 2026. Full schedule and background: US New Home Sales dates. \nWhat is New Home Sales?\nNew Home Sales measures the number of newly built single-family houses sold during the month\, expressed as a seasonally-adjusted annual rate (SAAR). A sale is recorded when a buyer signs a contract or makes a deposit\, even before construction is complete\, which makes this one of the more forward-looking gauges of housing demand available to policymakers and investors. \nThe Census Bureau and HUD compile the figures from a sample of building permits and\, in areas without permit systems\, from site visits. Alongside the headline sales rate\, the report publishes the median and average sales price\, the number of homes for sale\, and months’ supply (how long it would take to sell the current inventory at the recent sales pace). \nMarkets watch this release because new construction feeds directly into GDP\, employment in the building trades\, and demand for materials and appliances. It is also highly sensitive to mortgage rates\, since most new-home buyers finance their purchase\, so the series is one of the more direct readings on how borrowing costs are affecting the real economy. \nWhen is the July 2026 New Home Sales report released?\nThe report is due on Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 at 10:00 am ET (3:00 pm in London). It is published jointly by the Census Bureau and HUD as part of the Monthly New Residential Sales release\, available on the Census Bureau’s construction statistics pages. New Home Sales for a given month is typically released around the fourth week of the following month\, so a late-August date for July data is in line with the usual schedule. \nWhat is the consensus forecast?\nAs of the time of writing\, a consensus forecast for July 2026 New Home Sales has not yet been published. Economist surveys for this release\, run by outlets such as Reuters and Bloomberg\, are typically published only a few days before the release date\, so a specific number is not yet available. The most recent confirmed data point is the June 2026 report\, published on July 24\, 2026\, which showed new single-family home sales at a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 628\,000 units\, up 1.6% from a revised May 2026 estimate of 618\,000\, according to the joint Census Bureau and HUD release. That June reading was 5.6% below the June 2025 rate. Months’ supply of new homes stood at 9.3 months in June\, slightly below May’s 9.4 months. \n\n\n\nMeasure\nPrior (June 2026)\nConsensus (July 2026)\n\n\n\n\nNew Home Sales (SAAR)\n628\,000\nNot yet published\n\n\nMonths’ supply\n9.3 months\nNot yet published\n\n\n\nWhat the result could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nWhat it means in plain English\n\n\n\n\nAbove consensus\nSeen as a sign builders are moving inventory despite higher rates\, which some analysts argue could reduce pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut rates quickly if it coincides with firmer prices\nMore new homes are selling than expected\, which can support construction jobs but may keep prices from falling\n\n\nIn line with consensus\nTypically a limited market reaction\, since the print confirms the recent trend rather than changing it\nThe housing market is behaving broadly as expected\, so mortgage rates and builder plans are unlikely to shift much\n\n\nBelow consensus\nOften read as evidence that high mortgage rates are still weighing on affordability\, which economists surveyed by Reuters have flagged as a persistent drag on housing demand\nFewer buyers are committing to new homes\, which can eventually feed through to weaker construction activity and job losses in the sector\n\n\n\nWhy does this release matter right now?\nNew Home Sales has been volatile through 2026 as buyers weigh elevated mortgage rates against improving builder incentives. Fannie Mae and the Mortgage Bankers Association have projected 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging around 6.3% through 2026\, according to reporting cited by industry housing forecasts\, a level that continues to price some buyers out of the market. Builders have responded with rate buydowns and price incentives to keep sales moving\, which is part of why the sales rate has held up even as affordability remains stretched. \nThe Federal Reserve watches new construction data closely because housing is one of the most interest-rate-sensitive parts of the economy. A run of weak New Home Sales prints would add to the case\, made by some housing economists\, that the impact of past rate cuts has not yet fully worked through to home construction. A run of strong prints would suggest the sector is stabilising despite still-elevated borrowing costs. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\n\nMortgages and rates: A weak New Home Sales report can add to expectations of further Federal Reserve rate cuts\, which over time tends to filter through to mortgage rates in the US and\, indirectly\, to sentiment in the UK and eurozone bond markets that influence fixed-rate mortgage pricing there.\nSavings: Softer housing data that raises the odds of rate cuts can eventually mean lower returns on cash savings accounts and money market funds\, since these tend to track central bank policy.\nJobs and wages: Construction\, real estate and related trades employ millions of workers. A sustained slowdown in new home sales can reduce hiring and overtime in the building trades\, while a pickup can support wage growth in those sectors.\nPrices: Homebuilder price incentives and mortgage buydowns reported alongside sales data give a real-time read on whether housing costs\, a major part of inflation\, are easing or holding firm.\nInvestments\, pensions and currencies: Homebuilder shares and housing-related exchange-traded funds often move on this data. A surprise reading can also move the dollar against the pound and euro if it shifts expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next move\, which in turn affects the value of US assets held in pension funds outside America.\n\nRelated events\n\nUS Existing Home Sales\, published monthly by the National Association of Realtors\nUS Housing Starts and Building Permits\, published monthly by the Census Bureau\nFederal Reserve interest rate decisions\, which shape the mortgage rates that drive new home demand\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat time is US New Home Sales released?\nThe July 2026 report is due at 10:00 am ET\, which is 3:00 pm in London\, on Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026. \nHow should I read the New Home Sales number?\nFocus on the seasonally-adjusted annual rate and its change from the prior month\, and check the margin of error the Census Bureau publishes\, since month-to-month swings in this survey are often within the statistical noise range. \nDoes New Home Sales affect interest rate decisions?\nYes\, the Federal Reserve tracks housing data as part of its broader assessment of how higher borrowing costs are affecting the economy\, though this single release is unlikely to be decisive on its own. \nWhere is the official New Home Sales release published?\nThe Census Bureau publishes the full release\, including data tables\, on its construction statistics website\, jointly with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. \nWhen is the next New Home Sales report after this one?\nThe following report\, covering August 2026 data\, is typically released around the fourth week of September 2026\, following the Census Bureau’s usual monthly schedule.

SUMMARY:Australia CPI August 2026
DESCRIPTION:Next Australia CPI: Wednesday\, August 26\, 2026 at 11:30 am AEST (9:30 pm ET\, 2:30 am London). Covers July 2026 data. \n\nConsensus\nNot yet published\nPrior\n3.8% annual CPI (June 2026); trimmed mean 3.6%\nActual\nPending\n\nFull schedule and background: Australia CPI. \nUpdated August 25\, 2026 \n\nAustralia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July 2026 is released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) at 11:30am AEST on Wednesday\, August 26\, 2026. For traders in New York that falls at 9:30pm ET on Tuesday\, August 25\, and for London it lands at 2:30am on August 26. The report covers price changes across the Australian economy during July 2026. Full schedule and background: Australia CPI. \nWhat is the Australia CPI?\nThe Consumer Price Index tracks how much prices for a broad basket of goods and services\, housing\, food\, transport\, healthcare and recreation\, have changed for the average Australian household. The ABS calculates it by pricing thousands of items each month and comparing the total cost with the same basket a year earlier\, producing the headline annual inflation rate. \nSince late 2022 the ABS has published a full monthly CPI indicator rather than relying only on the quarterly series\, so the August release is a genuine month-on-month read on inflation rather than an interim estimate. Alongside the headline figure\, the ABS publishes trimmed mean inflation\, a core measure that strips out the most volatile price movements (such as petrol and fresh food) to show the underlying trend. \nMarkets watch this release closely because the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) uses it\, together with the quarterly CPI\, to judge whether inflation is moving back towards its 2 to 3 per cent target band. A surprise in either direction can move the Australian dollar\, government bond yields and expectations for the RBA’s cash rate\, with knock-on effects for currency pairs traded in London and New York and for Asian markets that track the AUD as a regional risk barometer. \nWhen is the July CPI released?\nThe ABS releases the monthly CPI indicator for July 2026 at 11:30am AEST on Wednesday\, August 26\, 2026. It is published on the ABS website under Consumer Price Index\, Australia\, alongside a media release summarising the headline and trimmed mean figures. The date is confirmed on the ABS release calendar rather than estimated. \nWhat is the consensus forecast?\nAs of the time of writing\, a consensus forecast for the July 2026 CPI has not yet been published. Economist surveys for Australian monthly CPI readings are typically compiled by Reuters and Bloomberg in the days immediately before release\, so a median forecast is likely to emerge closer to August 26\, 2026. \nThe most recent published reading is the June 2026 monthly CPI indicator\, released by the ABS on July 30\, 2026. Annual headline inflation was 3.8 per cent\, down from 4.0 per cent in the 12 months to May 2026\, according to the ABS media release. Trimmed mean inflation\, the RBA’s preferred core gauge\, held at 3.6 per cent for a second consecutive month. \n\n\n\nMeasure\nPrior (June 2026)\nConsensus (July 2026)\n\n\n\n\nHeadline CPI\, annual\n3.8%\nNot yet published\n\n\nTrimmed mean\, annual\n3.6%\nNot yet published\n\n\n\nWhat the result could mean\n\n\n\nScenario\nLikely market read\nWhat it means in plain English\n\n\n\n\nAbove consensus\nAnalysts covering Australian inflation generally treat an upside surprise as reducing the chance of near-term RBA rate cuts\, which tends to support the Australian dollar and push bond yields higher\nPrices are rising faster than expected\, which could delay any easing in mortgage rates and keep the cost of living elevated for longer\n\n\nIn line with consensus\nA reading matching forecasts is usually seen as reinforcing the RBA’s existing policy path\, with limited immediate market reaction\nInflation is behaving broadly as expected\, so there is unlikely to be a sudden change in borrowing costs or the dollar\n\n\nBelow consensus\nA downside surprise is typically read as strengthening the case for the RBA to consider cutting its cash rate sooner\, which can weigh on the Australian dollar\nPrice pressures are easing faster than expected\, which could eventually flow through to lower variable mortgage rates\n\n\n\nThese are possible reactions described by market commentators\, not predictions of what will happen on the day. \nWhy does this release matter right now?\nAustralian inflation has been on an uneven path through 2026. The monthly indicator moved from 3.7 per cent in the year to February 2026 up to 4.6 per cent in March\, before easing to 4.2 per cent in April\, 4.0 per cent in May and 3.8 per cent in June\, according to successive ABS media releases. The March spike was driven in large part by transport costs\, with fuel prices rising sharply\, while the subsequent easing reflected falling automotive fuel prices as global oil markets stabilised. \nThe RBA has repeatedly said it wants to see inflation\, and in particular trimmed mean inflation\, converge sustainably within its 2 to 3 per cent target band before it is comfortable easing policy further. With trimmed mean inflation stuck at 3.6 per cent for two consecutive months to June 2026\, the July print will be watched for evidence of whether underlying price pressures are genuinely cooling or merely stabilising above target. \nGlobally\, the release sits alongside other major inflation data such as the US CPI report and eurozone HICP figures that central banks in Washington\, Frankfurt and London are also scrutinising\, making it part of a broader picture of whether global disinflation is continuing or stalling. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\n\nMortgages and rates: Australian homeowners with variable-rate mortgages are directly affected by RBA decisions that lean heavily on CPI data. A hotter-than-expected July reading could push back the timing of any future rate cut\, while a cooler reading could add to the case for one.\nSavings: Term deposit and savings account rates in Australia tend to track the cash rate outlook\, so a shift in inflation expectations can change what banks offer savers within weeks.\nJobs and wages: Persistently high inflation erodes real wage growth even when nominal pay rises\, so the CPI print feeds into wage negotiations and the Fair Work Commission’s annual minimum wage review.\nPrices: The report itself shows households what has been driving the cost of living\, from housing and electricity to food and transport\, useful context for anyone budgeting for the months ahead.\nInvestments\, pensions and currencies: Movements in the Australian dollar following the release can affect returns for international investors holding Australian assets\, and pension funds with Asia-Pacific exposure watch the data for signs of how RBA policy\, and therefore bond yields\, might move. A weaker or stronger AUD also changes the cost of importing goods and travelling for Australians\, and affects exporters trading with the UK\, Europe and Asia.\n\nRelated events\n\nThe Reserve Bank of Australia’s next cash rate decision\, which will weigh the July CPI alongside labour market data\nThe US CPI report\, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics\, which shapes Federal Reserve policy and global rate expectations\nEurozone HICP inflation data\, watched by the European Central Bank for similar signs of disinflation or persistence\n\nRecent Australia CPI readings\n\n\n\nMonth\nAnnual headline CPI\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 2026\n3.7%\n\n\nMarch 2026\n4.6%\n\n\nApril 2026\n4.2%\n\n\nMay 2026\n4.0%\n\n\nJune 2026\n3.8%\n\n\n\nSource: ABS monthly Consumer Price Index media releases for each respective month. \nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat time is the Australia CPI released?\nThe ABS releases the monthly CPI indicator at 11:30am AEST\, which is 9:30pm ET the evening before in New York and 2:30am in London on the same calendar day as the Australian release. \nHow should I read the headline versus trimmed mean figures?\nThe headline CPI shows overall price changes including volatile items like fuel and fresh food\, while the trimmed mean strips out extreme movements to show the underlying inflation trend that the RBA weighs most heavily. \nHow does this data affect RBA interest rate decisions?\nThe RBA uses monthly and quarterly CPI data as key evidence when setting the cash rate\, so a surprise reading can shift market expectations for whether rates will rise\, hold or fall at upcoming meetings. \nWhere can I find the official release?\nThe data is published directly on the Australian Bureau of Statistics website under Consumer Price Index\, Australia\, alongside a media release summarising the main findings. \nWhen is the next Australia CPI release?\nThe ABS publishes the monthly CPI indicator roughly a month after each reference period\, so the following release covering August 2026 data is expected around late September 2026\, with the exact date confirmed on the ABS release calendar.
