#USConsumerConfidence

This chart shows the consumer confidence index in the United States over the years.

As you can see, there have been periods of great optimism and others of greater pessimism, reflecting the different economic conditions that the world has gone through.

The impact of consumer confidence is reflected in consumer spending, the stock market, and how monetary policy decisions influence consumer confidence in central bank decisions.

When consumers are confident about the economic future, they tend to spend more, which drives economic activity and, therefore, the markets!

Generally, higher consumer confidence is associated with rising markets.
