This is the lowest level that sentiment has declined to since May, and comes following October´s final reading of 63.8.
Following the report, the survey’s director Joanne Hsu stated that, "While current and expected personal finances both improved modestly this month, the long-run economic outlook slid 12%, in part due to growing concerns about the negative effects of high interest rates."
