Australia Westpac Consumer Confidence Index
Based on a survey of more than 1,200 Australian households, conducted by the Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI). F five component indexes are used in order to calculate the index, which they reflect consumers' assessments of their household economic state over the previous year and the upcoming year, their expectations for economic conditions over the coming year and the next five years, and their purchasing conditions for major household goods. Optimists outnumber pessimists, as indicated by index scores greater than 100.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the AUD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the AUD.
