================
Previous Month (revised): 95.2
- Change from Previous Month: -2.10% (-2.0 points)
The "predicted" figure is what economists were expecting, while the "actual" is the true or real figure.
From Today's Report:
"...'Consumer confidence has stabilized since May, rebounding from April’s plunge, but remains below last year’s heady levels,' said Stephanie Guichard, Senior Economist, Global Indicators at The Conference Board. 'In July, pessimism about the future receded somewhat, leading to a slight improvement in overall confidence.================
All three components of the Expectation Index improved, with consumers feeling less pessimistic about future business conditions and employment, and more optimistic about future income.
Meanwhile, consumers’ assessment of the present situation was little changed. They were a tad more positive about current business conditions in July than in June. However, their appraisal of current job availability weakened for the seventh consecutive month, reaching its lowest level since March 2021. Notably, 18.9% of consumers indicated that jobs were hard to get in July, up from 14.5% in January.'..."
Every month, The Conference Board sends a questionnaire to 5,000 U.S.
households. Survey participants are polled about their feelings
regarding the U.S. economy, current and future, and about their own
fiscal circumstances. On average, 3,500 participants complete and return
the 5-question survey.
- The baseline "100" score for the CCI is associated with 1985 survey data.
When consumers feel good about the economy, they tend to do more spending, and vice versa.
Based in New York City, The Conference Board® is a private,
not-for-profit organization with a mission to, "create and disseminate
knowledge about management and the marketplace to help businesses
strengthen their performance and better serve society."
The CCI is usually released on the last Tuesday of the month.
