BUT WILL IT BE ENOUGH?

After approaching 2015 lows last month, Bloomberg’s Consumer Comfort Index (CCI) has shown signs of life for two straight weeks.

The metric (.pdf here) – which measures consumer comfort on a scale of zero to 100 – currently stands at 43.  That’s it’s second straight weekly increase.  Unfortunately, the upticks haven’t made up the ground it’s lost this year.

“These results reflect a mixed year to date,” the analysts who compile the data noted.  “A late-September to late-January run-up made Q1 the highest post-recession quarter, reaching a nearly eight-year high in the first week of Q2. But the index slipped through the rest of Q2 and struggled further in this quarter, until managing its latest gains.”

Here’s a look at the index’s recent weekly history …

Produced by Langer Research Associates, CCI data is based on 1,000 national random-sample landline and cellular telephone interviews, 250 per week (in a four-week rolling average). It’s been compiled weekly since December 1985.
