Australia's consumer confidence dropped slightly during the week ended September 24, after strengthening in the previous week, a weekly survey compiled by the ANZ bank and Roy Morgan Research showed Tuesday.

The consumer confidence index fell to 114.1 from 114.8 in the preceding week.

The moderation in confidence was driven by a solid decline in views towards future economic conditions, which was somewhat offset by an increase in the 'time to buy a major household item' index.

Inflation expectations were unchanged at 4.4 percent on a four-week moving average basis.
