Last night’s weak guidance from Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD) provided the latest in the list of downside profit forecasts from management blaming larger forces at work for product demand falloff. According to the firm, “weaker-than-expected demand across all product lines caused by the challenging macroeconomic environment” caused the lowering of sales forecasts to a 10% quarterly decline from earlier estimates of a 1% drop, plus or minus 3%. This morning a 24% quarterly profit gain at India’s Infosys (NASDAQ:INFY) failed to offset margin concerns and disappointing guidance. The firm failed to raise revenue estimates for the March fiscal year, anticipating 5% gains ex-Lodestone AG; a twitchy investment community had expected a raise to 6% with the Lodestone purchase included.

Yesterday’s equity markets failed to hold onto early session gains, which had been engendered by a Labor Department report on weekly jobless claims that showed an unexpected falloff to their lowest since mid-February, down 30K to 339K. Also adding to the positive sentiment were a Citigroup (NYSE:C) upgrade on US equities to “overweight,” a successful sale of E3.8 billion Italian 3-years, reports of a possible $12.8 billion deal for a Sprint (NYSE:S) stake by Softbank, and a successful debut of real estate service provider Reology, the third largest IPO of the year, which served as a bullish reminder of improving US housing markets.

Consumer Sentiment

Released On 10/12/2012 9:55:00 AM For Oct, 2012 Prior Consensus Consensus Range Actual Sentiment Index - Level 78.3 78.3 75.0  to 81.0 83.1

Market Consensus before announcement The Reuter's/University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index for the final reading for September fell to 78.3 from 79.2 at mid-month. Still, the final September reading compared very well with 74.3 in August as well as July's 72.3. Softness of the last two weeks was centered entirely in the assessment of current conditions which fell 2.6 points from mid-month to a final September reading of 85.7. This was three points below the final August reading which does not generally bode well for monthly economic data in September. But expectations were a big positive, improving one tenth from mid-month to end at 73.5 which was up an extremely strong 8.4 points from August.

Definition The University of Michigan's Consumer Survey Center questions 500 households each month on their financial conditions and attitudes about the economy. Consumer sentiment is directly related to the strength of consumer spending. Consumer confidence and consumer sentiment are two ways of talking about consumer attitudes. Among economic reports, consumer sentiment refers to the Michigan survey while consumer confidence refers to The Conference Board's survey.
