Australia: Westpac Consumer Confidence for May: -7.0% (vs. a fall of 5.1% in April)

The Westpac/Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment index falls 7% m/m to 97.6 (vs. a fall of 5.1% prior to 104.9).

A negative for AUD, but this release does not often have a big market impact. It is the largest decline since December of 2011 and the first two consecutive falls since March and April of 2012.
