A closely watched measurement of US consumer sentiment fell to a fresh, all-time low in May, according to the latest survey from the University of Michigan.

“The cost of living continues to be a first-order concern, with 57% of consumers spontaneously mentioning that high prices were eroding their personal finances, up from 50% last month,” Joanne Hsu, director of the university’s Surveys of Consumers, wrote in a statement. Consumers’ personal finances sank by 13% in May, she said.

Erin Burnett interviews analysts Dan Ives and Peter Tuchman, and the CNN "NewsNight" panel debates the reasons behind the new numbers.
