Deloitte anticipates that consumer spending will grow 3.1% year over year in 2025.

Consumer Confidence reached an all time high of 111.40 points in January of 2000 and a record low of 50.00 points in June of 2022.

Wonder who was president during that record low?

Exactly. No one thought he could run the bus into the ditch this quickly. Consumers see dark days ahead and rightly so.

U.S. consumer confidence plummeted in February, the biggest monthly decline in more than four years, a business research group said Tuesday, with inflation seemingly stuck and a trade war under President Donald Trump seen by a growing number of Americans as inevitable.
The Conference Board reported that its consumer confidence index sank this month to 98.3 from 105.3 in January. That's far below the expectations of economists, who projected a reading of 103, according to a survey by FactSet.

The seven-point drop was the biggest month-to-month decline since August of 2021.

what numbers are you referring to?
also when your GDP is hyper inflated with waste and fraud it has to be eliminated before it can get better. See Venezuela

Just a reminder for moeped.

Consumer confidence was 6% lower under Biden than when he took office.
