Abstract
► We examine the announcement of consumer sentiment on US stock and futures markets. ► We find that the consumer sentiment announcement has valuable information content. ► An asymmetric response is observed for “good” versus “bad” sentiment news. ► The effect of negative consumer sentiment announcements is in salient stocks. ► The results support the availability heuristic.
