Consumer confidence plunges as Trump's economic promises falter, hitting its lowest point since April. Americans are increasingly pessimistic about job prospects, income stability, and overall business conditions during President Trump's term.

“Consumers’ write-in responses pertaining to factors affecting the #economy continued to be led by references to #prices & #inflation, #tariffs & #trade, & #politics, with increased mentions of the federal government shutdown,” Dana Peterson, the Conference Board’s chief economist, said in a release. The government shutdown ended earlier this month, so #ConsumerConfidence *could* rebound in December.

#ConsumerConfidence falls to lowest in 7 months as concerns grow about the #economy

America’s economic mood is souring as worries about the #labor market mount.

The Conference Board’s latest survey of American consumers, released Tuesday, showed that consumer confidence declined sharply this month to a reading of 88.7, the lowest level since April, when #Trump unveiled sweeping #tariffs.

Paycheck processor #ADP release grim data ahead of July 4th showing over 30,000+ jobs lost across private employers in #USA.

While described as " a surprise move in the wrong direction" , I'm personally very #unsurprised, that American #employment is in a tariff tailspin amidst #GOP #GDP games, including the drastic #Drumpf #deportation dramas taking toll.on #economic activity, amidst fiscal fear factors slowing growth, stifling #ConsumerConfidence and regular #retail activity while radically raising costs on everything from food, housing, clothing, travel and energy.

"He’s behaving like a predator, wreaking havoc because he can, motivated mainly by ego and impulse that the thin veneer of weak rationale ought not to obscure. …

The biggest lie Trump and Vance told America in 2024 was that they cared about the well-being of ordinary people."

Noting that the well-regarded University of Michigan consumer-sentiment index released yesterday shows consumer confidence falling for the fourth straight month, dropping 11% from March, Heather Cox Richardson writes,

"This level of consumer sentiment is the second lowest since the index began in 1952."

Evidence that the US stock market is based solely on imaginary wishful thinking?

China increases tariffs on US products to 125%, the US bond market is experiencing a sell off, companies are announcing layoffs daily, and there are reports of companies pausing investment decisions until things settle down, the consumer sentiment measurement reports a reading of 50.8.

And, the wishful thinking DOW is at +760 as of this posting.

Note: a sentiment number of 100 is the baseline between a positive consumer confidence and a negative consumer confidence. A report of 50.8 should be a major concern for everyone.

#USA Economic indicators look far from rosy as #Drumpf #tariffs begin next week.

America's #Labor #data, home sales, and #GDP are all on the decline, according to latest reports that came in this week.

Jobless claims are spiking along with high interest rates & real estate valuations that have kept home sales low, dropping to their lowest level in over two decades.

Prices of goods on a wide array of everyday #food products are going to jump up on already queasy #consumerconfidence, affecting an array of goods from #canola oil to #Tequila. Companies like Domino's #Pizza are already warning investors the impacts #DJT policy will have on their seemingly insulated businesses.

As #Trump’s policies begin to take effect, #ConsumerConfidence has fallen sharply & #inflation expectations rose while Americans fret about surging #prices & the potential impact of #tariffs.

The recent jump is stoking yet more uncertainty about an economic outlook already clouded by Trump’s chaotic approach to #trade, #immigration, #taxation & other #policy areas.
