Fannie Mae Survey Finds Americans Are Becoming More Pessimistic About Economy, Household Finances

摘要

Americans are becoming more pessimistic about the economy, household finances, and homeownership, according to Fannie Mae's July consumer attitudinal survey. "The impact of recent financial market volatility on household wealth has been a setback to consumer confidence, which we're seeing in our survey results and in Americans' continued restraint in their willingness to take on additional financial commitments," said Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae vice president and chief economist.
