U.S. consumer sentiment plunged to a decade low in November, according to a University of Michigan survey, which blamed inflation and a growing sense among Americans that no effective policies have been put in place to rein in surging prices.

The university’s most recent consumer sentiment index fell to a reading of 67.4 in November, down around four percentage points from October’s reading of 71.7 percent and a 10-year low.
