Consumer

Today’s Aug Vehicle sales print (12.1MM units) was much better than expected, fitting our consumer anchor quite nicely (as has other recent data). Vehicle sales are now 5% above their year ago level.

Despite recent negative confidence reads, and despite today’s employment print, we expect consumer activity to continue to broach expectations over the near term.
