Consumer confidence has dropped for the third consecutive month, adding a note of caution to the economic landscape. House prices are on the rise, yet this dip in consumer confidence raises questions about the broader economic outlook. On another front, a White House economic advisor has weighed in on inflation, forecasting a gradual return to the 2% target over the course of 2024. Despite recent surges in price pressures, the advisor highlighted ongoing factors that could help cool off inflation later in the year. This includes the "unsnarling" of supply chains, which played a significant role in the disinflationary trend seen in 2023. From consumer confidence to inflation dynamics, staying informed is key to navigating financial decisions in an ever-evolving economic landscape. #USEconomy #Inflation #ConsumerConfidence

After another solid year in financial markets and the economy, investors should be prepared for increased uncertainty ahead.

We are seeing a puzzling drop in US Consumer Confidence... - It greatly improved since mid-2022 when inflation peaked. That said it never fully recovered back to pre-inflation/pre-covid levels. Additionally, latest consumer confidence measures show a drop (from the Univ Michigan survey, but not only - see graph). - Considering strong growth, households’ revenues & wealth effect, and still healthy labor markets, confidence should be much higher. - There’s an ‘irrational’ part in consumer confidence that we seek to isolate in the right chart, which shows intensifying excess-pessimism since 2023. When lasting for too long, excess pessimism can become selffulfilling, with implications on consumption and then on GDP and profits. To be monitored given the importance of consumer to the US economy!

Recent data from the Conference Board highlights a concerning trend in American consumer confidence as we close out December. The confidence index fell to 104.7, down from 112.8 in November, defying analysts' expectations for an increase. Notably, the outlook for income, business, and the job market has also dipped, with short-term expectations plummeting to 81.1. A reading below 80 can indicate potential recession risks. This signals a change in economic sentiment that businesses should monitor closely. #Economy #ConsumerConfidence #EconomicTrends #RecessionWatch #FinanceNews #MarketInsights https://loom.ly/8oG3Ghs
