The University of Michigan releases its Consumer Sentiment Index for March. Consensus estimate is for a 63.9 reading, slightly less than in February. Plummeting consumer confidence and rising inflation expectations roiled the stock market over the past month. The most recent reading from the University of Michigan was a 15-month low, while a similar survey in late February from the Conference Board registered the largest monthly decline since August 2021. Consumers' expectations of the year-ahead inflation was 4.3% in February in the Michigan survey, the highest reading since late 2023.
