Highlights
- The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index slumped to 93.0 in June (Briefing.com consensus 99.0) from an upwardly revised 98.4 (from 98.0) in May.
- In the same period a year ago, the index stood at 97.8.
Key Factors
- The Present Situation Index fell from 135.5 to 129.1.
- The Expectations Index dropped from 73.6 to 69.0, sticking below the threshold of 80 that typically signals recession ahead.
- Average 12-month inflation expectations decreased from 6.4% to 6.0%.
Big Picture
- The key takeaway from the report is that consumers were less positive about business conditions and job availability, which is a perception that could lead to reduced discretionary spending activity.
