Higher oil prices; declining property valuations; more expensive mortgages, the threat of a super-spike in energy bills this winter, sharp rises in food prices, fears of rising unemployment - little wonder that consumer confidence has fallen so sharply over the last three months. The BBC web site offers this very visual resource on the dark forces facing British consumers. Excellent for AS macro.
