The Michigan index is almost identical to the Conference Board Consumer Confidence index, though there are two monthly releases, a preliminary and final reading. Like the Conference Board index, it has two subindices - expectations and current conditions. The expectations index is a component of the Conference Board's Leading Indicators index.
