US Consumer Comfort soared to it highest since August 2001 according to Bloomberg latest survey, with confidence among those earning over $100k at its highest in history.
However, the most notable finding of the survey is the massive divergence between Republicans and Democrats as the former have not been more comfortable since January 2008 as the latter plunges to levels seen in 2013.
Notably there was a wider divergence in mid-2016 - but the other way - as Republican confidence collapsed amid the primaries and Democrats pushed up to record highs.
