# Michigan Consumer Sentiment: release dates, results and history


    Michigan Consumer Sentiment last printed 48.1 on Fri, Sep 25, 2026 against a 47.6 consensus forecast and a 47.8 prior, a +0.24 standard-deviation surprise. The next release is Friday, October 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.

    The sentiment headline is the secondary number here. What the market actually trades are the inflation expectations inside the same report, the 1-year and the 5-10-year series. The Fed watches both for signs that expectations are coming loose, what it calls de-anchoring, and Powell has cited them at press conferences. If you only look at one of the two releases, look at the preliminary. The final revision rarely says anything the first one did not.

      The official published series at its current vintage, revisions included, so the newest point can differ from the number as first printed. The release-by-release history, with the consensus forecast and standard-deviation surprise on every row, comes through the [Helious API](https://helious.io/developers/).





## How it moves Treasuries

    If inflation expectations jump, Treasuries sell off, and it does not matter what the sentiment headline did that month. A real de-anchoring scare does its damage at the long end. Soft expectations work the other way and support the bid. See it scored live on the [Helious desk](https://helious.io/),
