US consumer sentiment slumped in November amid persistent worries about inflation and higher interest rates, according to a survey on Friday, which also hinted at a sharp slowdown in spending on goods.

The University of Michigan’s preliminary November reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment came in at 54.7, down from 59.9 in the prior month.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a preliminary reading of 59.5. The survey’s reading of one-year inflation expectations edged up to 5.1% from 5.0% in October. The survey’s five-year inflation outlook rose to 3.0% from 2.9% in October. “The Fed telegraphed their intentions to slow the pace of rate increases and this report will not likely alter those intentions,” said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial in Charlotte, North Carolina.
