American consumers felt much worse about the US economy in February amid rising interest rates and concerns about a potential recession, according to the latest survey data released Tuesday by the Conference Board

The business research group’s consumer confidence index fell to 102.9 in February from a downwardly revised 106 the month before. Economists were expecting the headline index to measure 108.5, according to Refinitiv consensus estimates.

The Conference Board’s confidence index and the University of Michigan’s twice-a-month consumer sentiment index are two leading gauges of consumers’ attitudes toward the current and future strength of the economy. Although the two indexes typically track similarly over time, the consumer confidence index is more influenced by employment and labor market conditions, while the Michigan sentiment index has a greater emphasis on household finances and the impact of inflation.

Speaking of surveys….

CNN, any comment?

Yes the economy is shit right now

Duh

I sell retail, there is no recession. Demand is up, discounts are rare, everyone is employed. There is no recession, it is a political attack against the current Administration.

according to sleepy Joe his plan is working, it’s just too bad fixed income and low income people just aren’t seeing it, it’s a shame you spend two dollars for a can of soup anymore at the grocery store shame on this administration

Biden is crushing Americans. The next few years will be horrible

But hey, we have the most diverse administration EVER….so we have that going for us….. 🤦‍♂️

The politicians are more concerned about the Ukrainian economy!

It’s just transitory

what American consumers felt is irrelevant for economy how much tax they pay matters

And yet, turn on any morning show and hear about how travel is way up. Such a conundrum.....we're nervous about our money, let's go to Disneyland!!!!!🙄🙄🙄
