More tariff analysis! The consumer inflation experience in recent yrs may be setting the stage for more resistance to tariffs in '25 vs. '18. Products that have already had a sharp increase in price sensitivity face the most opposition to potential tariffs: pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/tar...

Exciting news (for me)!! We published our new State of the Global Consumer report last week, for the first time showcasing our very own intl consumer spending data across all 15 countries we cover! That's monthly, apples-to-apples, category-level spending data!!

Our team writes A LOT about differing dynamics/econ experiences across income groups. It's mostly been bad news for lower earners... But from late summer thru mid-Nov, we are finally seeing improvement in consumer health scores - with <$50k group showing the most progress!
