In December, the consumer confidence index showed a noticeable decline. This monthly decrease indicates that households' expectations regarding the economic outlook have weakened and their spending tendency has decreased.

Such movements in the confidence index directly affect monetary policy expectations and real returns. For investors, a slowdown in consumer activity may ease inflation pressures but could also limit economic growth.

It is essential to closely monitor this signal for risk assets. In a weak demand environment, central banks may resort to monetary easing, which will be a significant dynamic for alternative assets.

The confidence index has fallen, and wallets are tightened, now the central bank has to point shaving. --- Consumers are afraid to spend money, but inflation pressure can relieve frustration... This logic is a bit heartbreaking. --- Are alternative assets going to da moon? It feels like it's time for the crypto world to feast again. --- Every time the economy weakens, we hear about easing policies. When will they really come? --- Consumer confidence has collapsed, yet investors are calculating away, it's really absurd.

It dropped again. When the market is not doing well, the confidence index always declines. Let's wait and see.

Consumers have lost confidence. How can I dare to buy? We have to wait for the central bank's action in this round.

Consumer confidence has collapsed. The central bank will probably have to loosen monetary policy now. It's a good thing for alternative assets.

Consumer confidence has dropped again. To put it simply, people have no money to spend. Now the central bank needs to consider easing monetary policy.

Consumer confidence plunges, but for the crypto world... emmm... the key is the central bank's liquidity injection. Is it time for alternative assets to take off?
