We expect a big ordtak

We expect a big jump in consumer confidence now that the effects of Katrina and higher gas prices are further behind us. Higher confidence will lead to a better-than-expected holiday shopping season as well.

The employment picture remains fairly grim, and that's having a dampening effect on measures of consumer confidence. And we have higher energy prices, which is another drag on consumer confidence and a 'tax' on consumer spending.

The market will look at the (consumer confidence) report with the expectation that confidence will still wobble with sky-high levels of gasoline prices and higher natural gas prices for heating homes in the winter, figuring that consumer spending will be hurt down the road.

While the Index remains below its pre-Katrina levels, the shock of the hurricanes and subsequent leap in gas prices has begun wearing off just in time for the holiday season. Despite this latest boost in confidence, holiday spending will be driven by the bargains consumers have come to expect.

Traders are uncertain of the full effects Katrina will have on production. Added to the poor consumer confidence figures on Friday, investors will have no confidence for a quick recovery in time for the next reporting season.

Hopes for a good report on consumer confidence today is helping stock futures this morning. Any signs of higher confidence, which turn into higher spending, will be supportive to the markets.

I would interpret higher stock prices in two ways, ... It's an indication of improving confidence in the economy's recovery, and it increases the confidence and wealth of consumers, adding to consumer spending.

[Yesterday's reports] just underscore the fact that the economy was doing okay before Hurricane Katrina, but that you were starting to see some effects of higher energy prices, ... Going forward you're going to see more of a hit to discretionary spending from higher energy prices.

Now gasoline prices are breaking $3 a gallon. If we stay here or go higher in the fall, that would begin to put the holiday shopping season at risk.

Each game we're getting confidence and also each practice we're getting confidence. We already had it at the beginning of the season, but it's getting higher and higher.

Both consumer confidence and housing starts were stronger than expected. Treasuries are getting killed, so people are worried interest rates will go even higher than expected.

On the surface, you would expect that gas prices would draw people online, but I am not a big believer in that, ... His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility. Remember that people are cutting back on spending because of higher expenses such as fuel and lower consumer confidence.

Higher interest rates are cutting a bit into confidence, and now oil prices are going back up to post-Katrina levels.

The fact remains that Tesco is the darling of the sector and is best equipped to cope with any slowdown in consumer confidence or the side-effects of a higher oil price,

The problem is the combined effects of the disruptions from Katrina and Rita, plus the ripple effects in the economy from higher energy prices,
