US consumer confidence declined in June 2025, with The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index falling 5.4 points to 93.0, reversing nearly half of the previous month's gains, largely due to increased concerns about the economy and job market related to tariffs and potential recession risks. Both the assessment of present conditions and future expectations weakened, with the latter falling significantly below a threshold that typically signals a recession ahead. U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly deteriorated in June as households increasingly worried about job availability, another indication that labor market conditions were softening against the backdrop of rising economic uncertainty because of the Trump administration's tariffs. |

Post election euphoria lifts US consumer confidence to 16-month high to 111.7 level in November 2024. U.S. consumer confidence increased to a 16-month high in November amid optimism over the labor market, expectations for lower inflation and higher stock prices over the next year. Part of the second straight monthly rise in confidence reported by the Conference Board on Tuesday likely reflected the outcome of the Nov. 5 election which returned Donald Trump to the White House and gave his Republican Party control of the U.S. Congress. The Conference Board did not attribute the improvement to the election, but noted "that write-in responses about politics, including the November elections, surged to above 2020 levels." |

Confidence Remains Range-Bound, as Dips in both Current Conditions and Expectations Halt Rising Optimism. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® fell in February to 106.7 (1985=100), down from a revised 110.9 in January.

The Conference Board's consumer confidence index fell to 100.2, the lowest reading since July, from 102.2 in October. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the index to come in at 100.0. Still, the index remains above its COVID-19 pandemic lows. It places more emphasis on the labor market, which remains tight. |

Lower gas prices push consumer confidence to highest level since May 2022. Lower gas prices helped consumer confidence bounce back in August, breaking a three-month stretch of worsening sentiment. However this improvement, while welcome, is tempered by ongoing worries that the US economy may be heading toward a recession. The Conference Board's monthly snapshot of consumer attitudes improved, rising to 103.2 from July's downwardly revised 95.3. The August number matches the level it reached in May and marks the first time since then that the headline index broke 100, the historical baseline metric. In the first half of the year, there were shocks to consumers from gas prices, the stock market and mortgage rates. The survey found that Americans are less pessimistic in both their current and future economic outlooks. The present situation index, which measures how people perceive current business and labor market conditions, jumped to 145.4 from 139.7 last month.

US consumer confidence slips in May amid stubborn inflation.U.S. consumer confidence edged lower in May as Americans’ view of their present and future prospects dimmed in the midst of persistent inflation.

U.S. consumer confidence eased in April 2022 as views on current conditions slightly worsened, offsetting more optimistic future expectations. The Conference Board’s index decreased to 107.3 from an upwardly revised 107.6 reading in March 2022. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a reading of 108.2. Inflation -- running at the fastest pace since 1981 -- is increasingly taking a bite out of paychecks, and more dollars are being spent on essentials like food, gas and shelter. While consumers are so far hanging tough and continuing to spend, some economists worry that demand will eventually slow to a point that could cause a recession. Inflation-adjusted spending data will be released Friday. |

U.S. consumer confidence dips in February 2022. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index dipped to a reading of 110.5 this month, the lowest since last September, from 111.1 in January. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the index decreasing to 110.0. The index remains above its pandemic lows. Unlike the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index, which fell to a decade low in mid-February, the Conference Board survey puts more emphasis on the labor market. U.S. consumer confidence fell to a five-month low month in February, with fewer consumers planning to purchase homes, automobiles and go on vacation over the next six months amid concerns about the short-term economic outlook. |

U.S. consumer confidence hits seven-month low; goods trade deficit widens. U.S. consumer confidence fell to a seven-month low in September 2021 as a relentless rise in Covid-19 cases deepened concerns about the economy’s near-term prospects. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index dropped to a reading of 109.3 this month from 115.2 in August, the third straight monthly decline. U.S. consumer confidence fell to a seven-month low in September as a relentless rise in COVID-19 cases deepened concerns about the economy’s near-term prospects, fitting in with expectations for a slowdown in growth in the third quarter. The survey from the Conference Board on Tuesday showed consumers less interested in buying a home and big-ticket items such as motor vehicles and major household appliances over the next six months. Consumers were also not as upbeat in their views of the labor market as in the prior month. Economic activity has cooled in recent months as the boost from pandemic relief money faded and infections flared up, driven by the highly contagious variant of the coronavirus. |

Consumer confidence came in at 121.7 in April 2021, up from March's 109.0. As a result, the index increased further above the 100-threshold, indicating healthy optimism among consumers. U.S. consumer confidence jumped to a 14-month high in April 2021 as increased vaccinations against COVID-19 and additional fiscal stimulus allowed for more services businesses to reopen, boosting demand and hiring by companies. The upbeat survey from the Conference Board on Tuesday, which also showed a strong increase in vacation plans, suggested the economy continued to power ahead early in the second quarter after what appears to have been robust growth in the first three months of the year, believed by many economists to have been the second strongest since 2003. Growth this year is expected to be the best in nearly four decades. |

| How the Consumer Confidence Affects You? |
Consumer Confidence is the degree of optimism that consumers feel about the overall state of the economy and their personal financial situation. How confident people feel about stability of their incomes determines their spending activity and therefore serves as one of the key indicators for the overall shape of the economy. In essence, if consumer confidence is higher, consumers are making more purchases, boosting the economic expansion.
On the other hand, if confidence is lower, consumers tend to save more than they spend, prompting the contraction of the economy. A month-to-month diminishing trend in consumer confidence suggests that in the current state of the economy most consumers have a negative outlook on their ability to find and retain good jobs.
A reading of 90 indicates a healthy economy, a level the index hasn't approached since December 2007 when the recession [cnbc explains] began. Economists watch the confidence numbers closely, because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.
The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Survey: Methodology
The Consumer Confidence Survey is conducted for the Conference Board by TNS. The questionnaires are mailed to a nationwide representative sample of 5,000 households, of which roughly 3,500 typically respond. Each month, a different panel of 5,000 households is surveyed.
The Index is based on responses to five questions included in the survey:
- Respondents' appraisal of current business conditions.
- Respondents' expectations regarding business conditions six months hence.
- Respondents' appraisal of the current employment conditions.
- Respondents' expectations regarding employment conditions six months hence.
- Respondents' expectations regarding their total family income six months hence.
For each of the five questions, there are three response options: POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, and NEUTRAL.
The response proportions to each question are seasonally adjusted. For each of the five questions (above), the POSITIVE figure is divided by the sum of the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE to yield a proportion, which we call the "RELATIVE" value. For each question, the average RELATIVE for the calendar year 1985 is then used as a benchmark to yield the INDEX value for that question. The Indexes are then averaged together as follows: Consumer Confidence Index: Average of all five Indexes; Present Situation Index: Average of Indexes for questions 1 and 3; Expectations Index: Average of Indexes for questions 2, 4, and 5. |
