The reading was broadly in line with market expectations of 90.9. According to the data agency, the overall decline primarily reflected worsening assessments of the country's economic outlook, which fell to 82.9 from 88.0, rising unemployment expectations, and reduced willingness to purchase durable goods under current conditions.
