Original: Why is Consumer Sentiment so Low?
Market commentators are revisiting the question of why US consumer sentiment remains depressed despite solid employment and economic growth. Discussion points to persistent inflation concerns, high housing costs, elevated borrowing rates and general price-level fatigue among households.

Why now: Consumers continue to feel squeezed by inflation, housing costs and interest rates even as headline economic data looks strong, prompting debate over the disconnect.
