Consumer Confidence Surveys – As Of April 28, 2023

Advisor Perspectives had a post of April 28, 2023 (“Michigan Consumer Sentiment Inches Up in April, Consistent with Forecast“) that displays the latest Conference Board Consumer Confidence and University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index charts.  They are presented below:

Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index 101.3

University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index 63.5

While I don’t believe that confidence surveys should be overemphasized, I find these readings and trends to be notable, especially in light of a variety of other highly disconcerting measures highlighted throughout this site.
