Morning Consult conducts daily surveys in 43 countries across the globe, asking them the same set of questions on personal finance and business conditions in an effort to gauge fluctuations in consumer sentiment in real-time. This report highlights the latest developments in April and the first week of May.
Last month's signals were contradictory. Consumer sentiment averaged higher in April compared to March in 21 countries, while 22 countries experienced a decline in sentiment.
- In the Americas region, the mood was generally sour, with sentiment dropping in six countries and eking out some growth in Chile and Mexico.
- Europe’s sentiment reflected the global mood, however upward movements in sentiment were apparent in larger economies at the end of April and into May.
- Sentiment indexes across the Middle East and Africa registered large ups and downs. While sentiment dropped in Israel and the UAE, the upward momentum from last month carried into April for Nigeria and Egypt.
- Finally, sentiment in the Asia-Pacific was also split in half, with Japan, China, South Korea and Thailand driving sentiment down in the region.
In this report, we take a closer look at consumer sentiment in the United States, Canada, India, Japan, China, Turkey and the U.K, while providing a historical data update on all countries we cover.
