The Michigan Current Conditions index measures consumers' assessment of their current financial situation and the current economic environment. It is a sub-index of the broader University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey. Higher readings indicate greater consumer confidence in the present economy, which typically correlates with increased consumer spending.
The index is derived from a monthly survey of approximately 600 households. It is calculated based on responses to questions regarding personal financial changes over the past year and whether it is a good time to buy major household items.
