Highlights
- The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index increased to 91.2 in June (Briefing.com consensus 94.2) from a revised 90.6 (from 93.1) in May.
- In the same period a year ago, the index stood at 95.2.
- The Present Situation Index fell to 116.4 from a downwardly revised 119.4 (from 121.2).
- The Expectations Index rose to 74.4 from a downwardly revised 71.4 (from 74.4). This is the seventeenth consecutive reading below 80, which is a level that typically signals recession ahead.12-month inflation expectations dipped to 6.0% from 6.2%.
- The key takeaway from the report is that the June increase followed a downward revision to May's reading, so there is some persistent caution in confidence as the expectations index remains below a level that has traditionally signaled an upcoming recession.
