The search results confirm my understanding of "Konsumente" as consumers and provide excellent sources for the history of consumer sentiment, consumer spending data, and the general economic impact of consumer behavior. I have all the information needed to construct the article and verify the external links I've chosen.
Here is the plan for the external links, based on the search results:
- FRBSF:
https://www.frbsf.org/research-and-insights/publications/economic-letter/2008/06/consumer-sentiment-spending/
(already provided, confirmed relevant by my search for "consumer sentiment spending") - University of Michigan:
https://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/
(Confirmed as the source for the Consumer Sentiment Index by search results,,,28,27) - BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis):
https://www.bea.gov/data/consumer-spending/main
(Confirmed as a source for consumer spending data by search results26,25,24,23) - Federal Reserve (G.19 Consumer Credit):
https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g19/current/
(Confirmed as the source for consumer credit data by search results22,21,20,19,18)
All four external links are real, live, and highly relevant. I have also ensured at least three different trusted domains are used (frbsf.org, sca.isr.umich.edu, bea.gov, federalreserve.gov).
Now I will proceed with writing the article following all the specified guidelines.
