Jan. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- We announce a new report "Affluent Market Tracking Study #21, Spring 2012 Survey of the Wealthiest 10% of US Households" through its vast collection of market research report.

Abstract: Following a substantial decline in the economic outlook and spending plans of the affluent in our Fall 2011 survey, this new survey shows that the affluent have returned to a more positive perspective (similar to the Spring 2011 survey results) on current business conditions and their 12-month outlook for business conditions, the stock market, and their personal household income and net worth.

These results are consistent with the general Consumer Confidence Index reported by The Conference Board, and similar measures of consumer mood tracked by Bloomberg, Gallup, Discover Financial Services, and others.

As in the Spring 2011 survey, the relatively improved mood of the affluent appears to reflect a number of factors which include first quarter gains in the stock market and an improved outlook for their personal household income and net worth.

Spending plans for the 8 major items and the indexes for the change in spending for the 17 products and services tracked by these surveys are about equal or above those reported in the Spring 2011 survey. There are pockets of particular strength in the spending plans, especially among the wealthiest one percentile.

The purchase intentions for major items rose slightly from the Fall 2011 survey for a new motor vehicle, major home remodeling, and acquisition of a vacation home. The other major purchase items showed slight declines from the Fall 2011 survey. A substantial amount of possible additional purchases are represented by the respondents who are "undecided" about the acquisition of a cruise, auto, remodeling, a primary residence, and a vacation home.

The index for change in spending for all 17 product categories rose from the Fall 2011 survey. Increases were primarily single digits but 5 categories rose by double digits: domestic vacation travel, international vacation travel, dining in upscale restaurants, collectibles, and political contributions.
