Michigan Consumer Sentiment Discussion

21 feb 2025 release was deflationary for USD. check for example pair AUD_USD. See how the day started bullish and continued till the end of it. UMCSI had a immediate impact in usd currency. -macro_trader
I meant bearish,not bullish.
must have been 500 hand-picked people as the sentiment is not good.  I went to Kohl's the other day and walked in to buy a pair of shorts.   $29.00 normally, knocked down to $7.   They handed me "Kohl's cash" which paid for the shorts and I handed the remainder maybe $20 to the woman behind me. yes, that "sentiment" is good but that does not bode well for earnings and stocks.
