American Optimism faltered in August for the first time since April, with the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index dropping 5% month-over-month. The decline coincides with a sharp rise in inflation expectations—jumping to 4.9% from July's 4.5%—as households brace for persistent price pressures.
