Refer to the Chapter 4 textbook reading which discusses consumer expectations as one of the five nonprice determinants of demand that cause a shift in demand. Additionally, review the topic Resource, "Survey of Consumers," and discuss the following:

• What are consumers currently expecting this month? How much has the consumer expectation changed compared to last month? Compared to last year?
• What changes in society or the economy might explain these changes, including your predictions for the next consumer sentiment report?
